3
is a dense, protective white covering that physically supports the internal structures of the eye.
sclera
"The window of the eye"
cornea
it permits the entrance of light, which passes through the lens to the retina. It is well supplied with nerve endings, making it responsive to pain and touch.
cornea
corneal reflex is supported by the ___, which carries the afferent sensation into the brain , and the facial nerve, which carries the efferent message that stimulate the blink
trigeminal nerve

muscle fiber
is a biconvex, transparent, avascular encapsulated structure located immediately posterior to the iris.
lens
it functions is to refract (bend) light rays onto the retina.
lens
The lens ___ to focus on close object and ___ to focus on far objects.
bulges, flatten
it contains the vascularity necessary to provide nourishment to the inner aspect of the eye and prevents light from reflecting internally.
choroid layer
