Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Accessory structures: Eye lids
Skin Layer
Orbicularis Oculi
Tarsal plate
Meibomian Gland
Eye lids
The eyelids fulfill two main functions:
protection of the eyeball.
secretion, distribution and drainage of
tears.
Eye lashes and Eye brows
Hair follicles.
They protect the eye from direct sunlight,
dust, perspiration and foreign bodies.
Lacrimal Apparatus
Lacrimal Gland
Located in the upper, outer portion of each orbit of the
eye
Lobulated exocrine glands secreting tears
Lacrimal Ducts
There are about 6 to 12 in number
They dump tears on the surface of the conjunctiva of
the upper lid through the palpebral part of the gland
Tear Film:
Lipid layer produced by the
meibomian gland (oil)(hydrophobic)
Aqueous layer produced by the
Lacrimal gland (spreading, control
of infectious agents)
The mucous layer produced by
microscopic goblet cells in the conjunctiva
(coating)
Conjunctiva
The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane lining the
eyelids and covering the anterior eyeball up to the edge
of the cornea.
Bulbar: covers the sclera
Palpebral: lines the inside of the upper and lower lids
Lid retractors
Responsible for opening the eyelids
levator palpebrae superioris muscle
Lower lid retractor
inferior rectus, extends with the inferior oblique
and insert into the lower border of the tarsal plate
Extraocular Muscles
Rectus Muscles
superior rectus
inferior rectus
medial rectus
lateral rectus
Oblique Muscles
Superior oblique
Inferior oblique
Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Cornea and sclera
The cornea and sclera form a spherical shell
which makes up the outer wall of the eyeball.
Cornea and sclera
The sclera is :
- principally collagenous,
- avascular (apart from some vessels on its
surface)
- relatively acellular.
The cornea and sclera merge at the corneal
edge (the limbus).
The chief functions of the cornea
Are protection against invasion of
microorganisms into the eye
the transmission and focusing (refraction) of
light.
Screening out damaging ultraviolet (UV)
wavelength in sunlight
Cornea
Epithelium
Bowman membrane
Stroma
Descemet’s
membrane
Endothelium
Epithelium
Made of epithelial cells
A thin layer that keeps the stroma dehydrated and
shields the eye while being able to provide nutrients
and oxygen to the cornea
It acts as a barrier to protect the cornea, resisting the
free flow of fluids from the tears, and
prevents bacteria from entering the epithelium and
corneal stroma.
Epithelium
Extremely sensitive to pain
Can regenerate itself if damaged from disorders such as:
Recurrent corneal erosion: characterized by the failure of
the cornea's outermost layer of epithelial cells to attach to
the underlying basement membrane
Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy: the epithelium's
basement membrane develops abnormally, causing the
epithelial cells to not properly adhere to it.
Diabetes mellitus: poor adhesion between epithelial cells
and their basement membrane
Bowman’s membrane
smooth, acellular, nonregenerating layer, located
between the superficial epithelium and the stroma in
the cornea of the eye.
Is transparent, composed of collagen, cannot
regenerate after damage and form scars as it heals
which can lead to vision loss
Stroma
Lies beneath
Bowman’s membrane
Is composed primarily
of water (78%) and
collagen (16%), keratocytes
Giving the cornea its strength, elasticity and form
Fairly dehydrated which contributes greatly to the
light-conducting transparency.
Descemet’s membrane
Is a protective barrier under the Stroma
Interiorly composed of collagen and posteriorly
made of endothelial
Can regenerate after injury
Endothelium
Monolayer cells lies under the Descemet’s
membrane.
Is responsible for regulating fluid and solute
transport between the anterior chamber and the
stroma
The endothelial pump is an energy-dependent
mechanism resulting in ion transported from
the stroma to the aqueous humor, creating an
osmotic gradient drawing water out of the
stroma
Endothelium
These cells don’t regenerate, if they are destroyed,
a corneal transplant is the only therapy. Where the
defective cornea is removed and another donor
cornea of similar diameter is implanted
Cornea and sclera
Refraction of light occurs because of the curved
shape of the cornea and its greater refractive
index compared with air.
The cornea is transparent because of the
specialized arrangement of the collagen fibrils
within the stroma, which must be kept in a
state of relative dehydration.
Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Choroid:
Thin brown tissue
Highly vascularized
Provides nutrients and oxygen to the retina
The choroid is opaque making sure no light is
scattered from the sclera to the retina.
Ciliary Body
A thick tissue inside the eye composed of
ciliary processes and muscles
Highly vascularized
Continuous with the
choroid behind and
the iris in front
Ciliary Processes:
Secretes the aqueous humour in the posterior
chamber and from it to the anterior chamber
The fluid nourishes and oxygenates the cornea
and lens and then drains into the sclera via
Schlemm canal
Ciliary Muscles:
Ciliary muscles are the set of muscles
(meridional, oblique, sphincteric) that affect
the shape of the lens during accommodation.
Iris:
Colored portion of the eye positioned between
the cornea and the lens
Smooth radial muscles
The Sphincter papillae
The Dilatator papillae
Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Retina
Thin, semitransparent,
multilayered sheet of neural
tissue
lines the inner aspect of the
posterior two thirds of the
globe
terminates anteriorly at the
ora serrata
Posterior Pole
Layers of the Retina
1. Internal limiting membrane
2. Nerve fiber layer
3. Ganglion cell layer
4. Inner plexiform layer
5. Inner nuclear layer
6. Outer plexiform layer
7. Outer nuclear layer
8. External limiting membrane
9. Photoreceptor layer (rods and cones)
10. Retinal pigment epithelium
Retinal Pigment Epithelium:
Sheet of melanin-containing epithelial cells lying
between the choroid and the neural portion
Which form a single layer extending from the
periphery of the optic disc to the Ora Serrata
epithelial cells that assist in the turnover of rods and
cones and prevent the scattering of light within the
eyeball due to the presence of melanin also works as a
barrier between the vascular system of the choroid and
the retina.
The neural portion of the retina:
composed of the 9 remaining layers that would
convert light into electrical impulses to be transmitted
to the thalamus
The neural portion is soft, translucent and purple (due
to the presence of Rhodopsin) which becomes opaque
and bleached when exposed to light.
Neurons in the retina are classified into different
categories
The Ganglion cell layer:
Transmits the visual packets received from the
photoreceptors to the brain for further processing
Highly concentrated in the Macula, less in the fovea
Retinal ganglion cells vary significantly in terms of their
size, connections, and responses to visual stimulation
but they all share the defining property of having a
long axon that extends into the brain. These axons form
the optic nerve
The bipolar cell layer:
Radially oriented neurons. Signal couriers between the
photoreceptors that react to light stimuli and the
ganglion cells, there are two types of bipolar cells Cone
bipolar and rod bipolar, receiving information from
their respective photoreceptors.
Photoreceptor layer:
Comprised of rod and cons neurons that converts light
to receptor potential.
The rods are responsible for identification of shapes
and movement and the discrimination between black
and white and are dense at the peripheral of the retina.
Cons neurons are responsible for color vision and for
high visual acuity in bright light; they are highly
concentrated in the fovea at the center of the macula
lutea.
Photoreceptor layer:
The photoreceptors have photopigments that when hit
by light goes thru structural change and triggers the
initiation of a receptor potential across the nerves.
The cone cells have three photopigments each one
interacts at different wavelength (red, green and blue),
The rod cells they only have Rhodopsin which are
essential for vision during dimmed light.
Receptor potential initiation in a
rod cell
Light isomerizes retinal, which activates Rhodopsin
that in turn activates a G protein called transducin
which in turn activates the enzyme phosphodiesterase
(PDE), this enzyme then detaches cyclic guanosine
monophosphate (cGMP) from Na+ channels in the
plasma membrane by hydrolyzing cGMP to GMP. The
Na+ channels close when cGMP detaches. The
membrane’s permeability to Na+ decreases and the rod
hyperpolarizes due to the added negativity in neurons.
This hyperpolarization decreases the release of the
neurotransmitter glutamate into the synaptic cleft
between rod and the subsequent bipolar.
ON-OFF mechanism
At dark, Neurotransmitter glutamate is maximally
released and the rods are depolarized consequently
the ON bipolar gets hyperpolarized and the OFF
bipolar depolarized.
In light, Neurotransmitter glutamate is minimal and
the rods are hyperpolarized consequently the ON
bipolar gets depolarized and the OFF bipolar
hyperpolarized.
Depolarizing bipolar cells results in the release of
neurotransmitters whereas hyperpolarization stops
this release.
Horizontal cells:
Inhibitory interneurons,
that help integrate and
regulate the input from
multiple photoreceptor
cells and are responsible
for regulating vision under
both bright and dim light.
Amacrine cells:
Interneurons in the retina
They are responsible for 70% of input to retinal
ganglion cells. The remaining 30% are regulated by the
amacrine cells but are handled by the bipolar cells.
Macula
Center of the posterior retina
responsible for fine central vision
has yellow pigment (xantophyll)
histologically empty space tends to the
accumulation of extracellular material that
cause thickening
Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Anterior cavity
Anterior Chamber located between the cornea and the
iris
Posterior chamber located between the lens and the
iris
Filled with aqueous humor produced by ciliary
processes and rich in nutrient, and is a metabolic
exchange for the vascular tissue of cornea and lens
Increase in Intraocular Pressure leads to glaucoma
Aqueous Flow
Vitreous Body
Clear, avascular, gelatinous body.
comprises 2/3 of the volume of
the eye.
99% water ; 1% hyaluronic acid
and collagen.
The vitreous is adherent to the retina at certain points,
particularly at the optic disc and at the ora serrata.
The Lens
a biconvex lens with an index of refraction of 1.336
attached to the ciliary process by zonular fibers.
Non-vascular, colorless and transparent
The lens consists of stiff, elongated, prismatic cells
known as lens fibers, very tightly packed together and
divided into nucleus, cortex and capsule.
The Lens
These fibers are rich with proteins known as crystallins
which are responsible for transparency and refractive
properties and elasticity
Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Refraction of Light:
The cornea refracts 75% of the light
transmitted
The rest is done by the lens
Image is projected on the retina, inverted,
minimized and real.
Accommodation of the Lens:
The Lens is biconvex which intensifies the
focusing power
The lens is flexible and can change curvature to
accommodate according to light and object
distance
For far away objects: the zonule fibers provide
tension to the lens giving it an elongated shape
For close objects: ciliary muscles contract, relaxes
the tension of the lens leading to a rounder shape
Accommodation of the Lens:
Anatomy and physiology of the eye
Alignment of the Eyes:
Binocular vision: The two eyes field of vision overlap
and the image coincide creating a single impression
This is done by synced eye movements where both
eyes move simultaneously to maintain the overlap of
vision.
Fixation
Involves looking stably straight ahead toward an object
in space.
Fusion:
Is the power exerted by
the eyes to keep the position
of the eyes aligned so that
the fovea can project
the same point in space.
Eye Movement:
Controlled by extraocular
muscles
To the left: levoversion
To the right: dextroversion
Upwards: sursumversion
Downwards: deorsumversion
Range of Focus:
For distances greater than 20 feet no
accommodation is required by the lens, but as this
distance shortens the lens has to accommodate
and will thicken to clarify image.
Comparison between eye and
camera:
Eye Camera
Diaphragm to
control the
amount of light
that gets through
to the lens
the pupil, at the center of the iris,
in the human eye.
the shutter in a camera
Method of
sensing the image
the image is focused on the
retina
film or sensor chip is
used to record the image
Method of
focusing
the focal length of the eye is
adjusted to create a sharp image.
This is done by changing the
shape of the lens; a muscle
known as the ciliary muscle does
this job.
the lens has a fixed focal
length. If the object
distance is changed, the
image distance is adjusted
by moving the lens
Comparison between eye and
camera:

The cornea is transparent because of the specialized arrangement of the collagen fibrils within the stroma, which must be kept in a state of relative dehydration.
  • 28. Choroid: Thin brown tissue Highly vascularized Provides nutrients and oxygen to the retina The choroid is opaque making sure no light is scattered from the sclera to the retina.
  • 29. Ciliary Body A thick tissue inside the eye composed of ciliary processes and muscles Highly vascularized Continuous with the choroid behind and the iris in front
  • 30. Ciliary Processes: Secretes the aqueous humour in the posterior chamber and from it to the anterior chamber The fluid nourishes and oxygenates the cornea and lens and then drains into the sclera via Schlemm canal
  • 31. Ciliary Muscles: Ciliary muscles are the set of muscles (meridional, oblique, sphincteric) that affect the shape of the lens during accommodation.
  • 32. Iris: Colored portion of the eye positioned between the cornea and the lens Smooth radial muscles The Sphincter papillae The Dilatator papillae
  • 34. Retina Thin, semitransparent, multilayered sheet of neural tissue lines the inner aspect of the posterior two thirds of the globe terminates anteriorly at the ora serrata
  • 36. Layers of the Retina 1. Internal limiting membrane 2. Nerve fiber layer 3. Ganglion cell layer 4. Inner plexiform layer 5. Inner nuclear layer 6. Outer plexiform layer 7. Outer nuclear layer 8. External limiting membrane 9. Photoreceptor layer (rods and cones) 10. Retinal pigment epithelium
  • 37. Retinal Pigment Epithelium: Sheet of melanin-containing epithelial cells lying between the choroid and the neural portion Which form a single layer extending from the periphery of the optic disc to the Ora Serrata epithelial cells that assist in the turnover of rods and cones and prevent the scattering of light within the eyeball due to the presence of melanin also works as a barrier between the vascular system of the choroid and the retina.
  • 38. The neural portion of the retina: composed of the 9 remaining layers that would convert light into electrical impulses to be transmitted to the thalamus The neural portion is soft, translucent and purple (due to the presence of Rhodopsin) which becomes opaque and bleached when exposed to light. Neurons in the retina are classified into different categories
  • 39. The Ganglion cell layer: Transmits the visual packets received from the photoreceptors to the brain for further processing Highly concentrated in the Macula, less in the fovea Retinal ganglion cells vary significantly in terms of their size, connections, and responses to visual stimulation but they all share the defining property of having a long axon that extends into the brain. These axons form the optic nerve
  • 40. The bipolar cell layer: Radially oriented neurons. Signal couriers between the photoreceptors that react to light stimuli and the ganglion cells, there are two types of bipolar cells Cone bipolar and rod bipolar, receiving information from their respective photoreceptors.
  • 41. Photoreceptor layer: Comprised of rod and cons neurons that converts light to receptor potential. The rods are responsible for identification of shapes and movement and the discrimination between black and white and are dense at the peripheral of the retina. Cons neurons are responsible for color vision and for high visual acuity in bright light; they are highly concentrated in the fovea at the center of the macula lutea.
  • 42. Photoreceptor layer: The photoreceptors have photopigments that when hit by light goes thru structural change and triggers the initiation of a receptor potential across the nerves. The cone cells have three photopigments each one interacts at different wavelength (red, green and blue), The rod cells they only have Rhodopsin which are essential for vision during dimmed light.
  • 43. Receptor potential initiation in a rod cell Light isomerizes retinal, which activates Rhodopsin that in turn activates a G protein called transducin which in turn activates the enzyme phosphodiesterase (PDE), this enzyme then detaches cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) from Na+ channels in the plasma membrane by hydrolyzing cGMP to GMP. The Na+ channels close when cGMP detaches. The membrane’s permeability to Na+ decreases and the rod hyperpolarizes due to the added negativity in neurons. This hyperpolarization decreases the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate into the synaptic cleft between rod and the subsequent bipolar.
  • 44. ON-OFF mechanism At dark, Neurotransmitter glutamate is maximally released and the rods are depolarized consequently the ON bipolar gets hyperpolarized and the OFF bipolar depolarized. In light, Neurotransmitter glutamate is minimal and the rods are hyperpolarized consequently the ON bipolar gets depolarized and the OFF bipolar hyperpolarized. Depolarizing bipolar cells results in the release of neurotransmitters whereas hyperpolarization stops this release.
  • 45. Horizontal cells: Inhibitory interneurons, that help integrate and regulate the input from multiple photoreceptor cells and are responsible for regulating vision under both bright and dim light.
  • 46. Amacrine cells: Interneurons in the retina They are responsible for 70% of input to retinal ganglion cells. The remaining 30% are regulated by the amacrine cells but are handled by the bipolar cells.
  • 47. Macula Center of the posterior retina responsible for fine central vision has yellow pigment (xantophyll) histologically empty space tends to the accumulation of extracellular material that cause thickening
  • 49. Anterior cavity Anterior Chamber located between the cornea and the iris Posterior chamber located between the lens and the iris Filled with aqueous humor produced by ciliary processes and rich in nutrient, and is a metabolic exchange for the vascular tissue of cornea and lens Increase in Intraocular Pressure leads to glaucoma
  • 51. Vitreous Body Clear, avascular, gelatinous body. comprises 2/3 of the volume of the eye. 99% water ; 1% hyaluronic acid and collagen. The vitreous is adherent to the retina at certain points, particularly at the optic disc and at the ora serrata.
  • 52. The Lens a biconvex lens with an index of refraction of 1.336 attached to the ciliary process by zonular fibers. Non-vascular, colorless and transparent The lens consists of stiff, elongated, prismatic cells known as lens fibers, very tightly packed together and divided into nucleus, cortex and capsule.
  • 53. The Lens These fibers are rich with proteins known as crystallins which are responsible for transparency and refractive properties and elasticity
  • 55. Refraction of Light: The cornea refracts 75% of the light transmitted The rest is done by the lens Image is projected on the retina, inverted, minimized and real.
  • 56. Accommodation of the Lens: The Lens is biconvex which intensifies the focusing power The lens is flexible and can change curvature to accommodate according to light and object distance For far away objects: the zonule fibers provide tension to the lens giving it an elongated shape For close objects: ciliary muscles contract, relaxes the tension of the lens leading to a rounder shape
  • 59. Alignment of the Eyes: Binocular vision: The two eyes field of vision overlap and the image coincide creating a single impression This is done by synced eye movements where both eyes move simultaneously to maintain the overlap of vision.
  • 60. Fixation Involves looking stably straight ahead toward an object in space.
  • 61. Fusion: Is the power exerted by the eyes to keep the position of the eyes aligned so that the fovea can project the same point in space.
  • 62. Eye Movement: Controlled by extraocular muscles To the left: levoversion To the right: dextroversion Upwards: sursumversion Downwards: deorsumversion
  • 63. Range of Focus: For distances greater than 20 feet no accommodation is required by the lens, but as this distance shortens the lens has to accommodate and will thicken to clarify image.
  • 64. Comparison between eye and camera: Eye Camera Diaphragm to control the amount of light that gets through to the lens the pupil, at the center of the iris, in the human eye. the shutter in a camera Method of sensing the image the image is focused on the retina film or sensor chip is used to record the image Method of focusing the focal length of the eye is adjusted to create a sharp image. This is done by changing the shape of the lens; a muscle known as the ciliary muscle does this job. the lens has a fixed focal length. If the object distance is changed, the image distance is adjusted by moving the lens
