Distinguish between aqueous humor and vitreous humor.
Aqueous humour :
1. Is is found in anterior chamber of eye.
2. It is watery fluid.
3. It is secreted by ciliary processors.
4. It is absorbed by blood.
5. It contains most of diffusible substances of the plasma.
6. Its obstruction may damage retina if it does not flow and causes glaucoma.
Vitreous humour :
1. It is present in posterior chamber of eye.
2. It is jelly like material.
3. It is secreted by retian during development of eye.
4. It is never absorbed or never replaced.
5. It contain 90% of water, vitrein protein, mucopoly saccharide called Hyaluronic acid.
6. It does not cause glaucoma.

A diagram showing axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly at least two of A-D.
A – Receptor |
C – Synaptic vesicles |
B – Synaptic connection |
D- K+ |
A – Neurotransmitter |
B- Synaptic cleft |
A – Neurotransmitter |
B- Synaptic cleft |
Parts A, B, C and D of the human eyes are shown in the diagram. Select the option, which gives correct identification along with its functions/ characteristics
A - retina - contains photoreceptors -rods and cones
B-blind spot- has only a few rods and cones
C - aqueous chamber - reflects the light which does not pass through the lens
C - aqueous chamber - reflects the light which does not pass through the lens
Destruction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord would result in loss of

In mammalian eye, the 'fovea' is the center of the visual field, where
high density of cones occur, but has no rods.
the optic nerve leaves the eye.
only rods are present
