• Anterior chamber - the area bounded in front by the cornea and in back by the lens, and filled with aqueous. 

• Aqueous - a clear, watery solution in the anterior and posterior chambers. 

• Artery - the vessel supplying blood to the eye. 

• Canal of Schlemm - the passageway for the aqueous fluid to leave the eye. 

• Choroid - carries blood vessels and is the inner coat between the sclera and the retina.

• Ciliary body - is an unseen part of the iris, and these together with the ora serrata form the uveal tract. 

• Conjunctiva - is a clear membrane covering the white of the eye (sclera). 

• Cornea - is a clear, transparent portion of the outer coat of the eyeball through which light passes to the lens. 

• Iris - gives our eyes color and it functions like the aperture on a camera, enlarging in dim light and contracting in bright light. Aperture- the apperture itself is known as the pupil. 

• Lens - helps to focus light on the retina. 

• Macula - the small area in the retina that provides our most central, acute vision. 

• Optic Nerve - conducts visual impulses to the brain from the retina. 

• Ora serrata and the ciliary body form the uveal tract, an unseen part of the iris. 

• Posterior Chamber - is the area behind the iris, but in front of the lens, that is filled with aqueous. 

• Puple - is the opening, or aperture, of the iris. 

• Rectus Medialis - is one of the six muscles of the eye. 

• Retina - the innermost coat of the back of the eye, formed of light-sensitive nerve endings that carry the visual impulse to the      optic nerve. The retina may be compared to the film of a camera. 

• Sclera - the white of the eye. 
   Vein is the vessel that carries blood away from the eye.
