The task is to label the parts of the human eye in the provided diagram using the given terms. Below is the solution with explanations for each part:
1. Cornea
- Location: The transparent, dome-shaped front part of the eye.
- Function: Allows light to enter the eye and helps focus it.
2. Sclera
- Location: The white outer layer of the eye.
- Function: Protects the eye and maintains its shape.
3. Iris
- Location: The colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil.
- Function: Controls the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
4. Pupil
- Location: The black circular opening in the center of the iris.
- Function: Adjusts in size to control the amount of light entering the eye.
5. Lens
- Location: Behind the iris and pupil.
- Function: Focuses light onto the retina.
6. Ciliary Body
- Location: Connects the iris to the choroid and contains muscles that control the shape of the lens.
- Function: Helps adjust the lens for focusing on objects at different distances.
7. Suspensory Ligament
- Location: Holds the lens in place and connects it to the ciliary body.
- Function: Provides support and allows the lens to change shape during accommodation.
8. Aqueous Humor
- Location: The clear fluid between the cornea and the lens.
- Function: Nourishes the cornea and lens and maintains intraocular pressure.
9. Vitreous Humor
- Location: The gel-like substance filling the main cavity of the eye (behind the lens).
- Function: Maintains the shape of the eye and allows light to pass through to the retina.
10. Choroid
- Location: The middle layer of the eye, between the sclera and the retina.
- Function: Supplies blood and nutrients to the retina and absorbs excess light to reduce glare.
11. Retina
- Location: The inner lining of the back of the eye.
- Function: Contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals.
12. Fovea
- Location: A small depression in the center of the retina.
- Function: Contains a high concentration of cones and is responsible for sharp, detailed central vision.
13. Optic Disk
- Location: The point where the optic nerve leaves the retina.
- Function: Contains no photoreceptor cells and is also known as the "blind spot."
14. Optic Nerve
- Location: Extends from the back of the eye and carries visual information to the brain.
- Function: Transmits electrical signals from the retina to the brain for processing.
15. Central Artery
- Location: Runs through the optic nerve and supplies blood to the retina.
- Function: Provides oxygen and nutrients to the retina.
- Top left: Cornea
- Left side, top to bottom:
- Sclera

- Ciliary Body
- Suspensory Ligament
- Choroid
- Retina
- Fovea
- Right side, top to bottom:
- Aqueous Humor
- Vitreous Humor
- Optic Disk
- Optic Nerve
- Central Artery
Each part of the eye has a specific function related to vision. By understanding the structure and function of each component, we can accurately label the diagram. The labels are placed according to their anatomical positions in the eye.
