Question
Chapter 13, Problem 8CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The medical condition in which intraocular pressure is high, and the name of related fluid.
Introduction:
The lenses and ciliary zonule divide the eye into two parts: anterior segment in front of the lens and posterior segment in the backside. The fluid filled in the posterior segment is called as vitreous humor, which is a clear gel binds a large amount of water. Vitreous humor performs a large number of functions like transmission of light, support lens posteriorly and also contributes in intraocular pressure. The anterior segment is filled with a clear fluid known as aqueous humor, its composition is similar to blood plasma.
