The anterior segment or anterior cavity [1] is the front third of the eye that includes the structures in front of the vitreous humour: the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. [2] [3]
List of human anatomical regions ... This illustration labeled regions of the human body show an anterior and posterior view of the body.
The anterior chamber ( AC) is the aqueous humor -filled space inside the eye between the iris and the cornea 's innermost surface, the endothelium. [1] Hyphema, anterior uveitis and glaucoma are three main pathologies in this area. In hyphema, blood fills the anterior chamber as a result of a hemorrhage, most commonly after a blunt eye injury. Anterior uveitis is an inflammatory process ...
Anterior part of the human eye, with label of posterior chamber at right. The posterior chamber is a narrow space behind the peripheral part of the iris, and in front of the suspensory ligament of the lens and the ciliary processes. The posterior chamber consists of small space directly posterior to the iris but anterior to the lens.
The iris ( pl.: irides or irises) is a thin, annular structure in the eye in most mammals and birds, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil, and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. In optical terms, the pupil is the eye's aperture, while the iris is the diaphragm. Eye color is defined by the iris.
This is a list of topics of importance to human anatomy and anatomical location of entities in the human body.
The posterior segment or posterior cavity [1] is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all of the optical structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. [2] The portion of the posterior segment visible during ophthalmoscopy (or fundoscopy) is sometimes referred to as the ...
