Chapter 16, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The part of the fibrous layer of the eye which is white, tough, and opaque.
Introduction:
The eye is the sense organ of vision which is spherical in shape. Its external wall has three layers, namely fibrous layer, vascular layer, and sensory layer. The fibrous layer is the outermost layer which is made up of dense connective tissue. The middle layer is the vascular layer and has a choroid, ciliary body, and iris. The inner layer contains the retina and the optic nerve.
