Which clear front covering bends incoming light before it enters the eye?

Which adjustable opening controls how much light enters the eye?
Which colored ring changes the size of the opening that admits light?

Which transparent structure changes shape to focus near and far objects on the sensory layer?
Which tough white outer coat helps protect the eyeball and maintain its shape?

Which sensory layer contains photoreceptors that begin the conversion of light into nerve signals?
Which small retinal pit gives the sharpest central vision for reading fine print?
Which bundle carries visual nerve impulses from the eyeball toward the brain?
Which structure changes lens shape by adjusting tension on suspensory ligaments?
Which pigmented vascular layer nourishes the sensory layer and absorbs stray light?
Which structure is the blind spot because axons leave the eye there and photoreceptors are absent?
Which transparent covering over the front of the sclera helps lubricate the exposed eye surface?

Light has just crossed the cornea. Which space or structure does it enter immediately next?
After traveling through the aqueous humor, which opening does light pass through?
Light has just passed through the pupil on its way inward. Which structure comes next?

After the lens, which gel does light cross before reaching the sensory surface?
Light has crossed the vitreous humor. Which layer does it reach next?
A photon reaches the photoreceptor layer of the retina. Which cells detect it first?

A signal leaves a photoreceptor in the retina. Which neuron type receives it next in the direct pathway?
A visual impulse has passed through a bipolar cell. Which retinal neuron sends its axon into the optic nerve?
Fibers from the nasal half of each retina reach the optic chiasm. What happens there?
After the optic chiasm, visual axons continue toward the thalamus in which tract?

Most visual information synapses in which thalamic relay before heading to the cerebral cortex?
From the thalamic relay, visual information travels to the occipital lobe through which fibers?
Which fluid fills the anterior and posterior chambers in front of the lens and helps maintain pressure?

Which clear eye gel forms before birth and lasts for life, instead of being drained and replaced like the fluid in front of the lens?
Which chamber lies between the cornea and the iris?
Which chamber lies between the iris and the lens?
Which cavity is the large space behind the lens that contains a clear gel?

The muscles that move the eyeball attach to which outer layer of the eye?
When this inner layer of the eye peels away from the layer beneath it, a person sees a dark curtain over part of their vision. Which layer is it?
Which retinal receptors work best in dim light and do not provide color vision?
Which retinal receptors provide color vision and sharp detail in bright light?

Which receptors are most concentrated at the fovea centralis?
Signals from many rods converge onto a single neuron in the next retinal layer, which helps rods detect dim light. Which neuron type is it?
Light entering the retina reaches one layer of neurons first, before the photoreceptors at the back. Which cells form that innermost layer?
Which light-sensitive pigment inside rod cells absorbs photons and starts the process of converting light into a nerve signal?
Which brain region contains the primary visual cortex that receives conscious visual input?
Ganglion cell axons have just left the eyeball as the optic nerve. Which structure do they reach next?
Because some visual fibers cross at the optic chiasm, the visual cortex in the left occipital lobe receives information from which part of what we see?
