Let’s go step by step to label the parts of the eye using the word bank provided.
We’ll match each blank box in the diagram with the correct term from the list below:
Word Bank:
- SCLERA
- OPTIC NERVE
- IRIS
- VITREOUS HUMOR
- CHOROID
- CILIARY BODY
- PUPIL
- OPTIC DISK
- RETINA
- SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT
- AQUEOUS HUMOR
- CENTRAL ARTERY
- FOVEA
- CORNEA
- LENS
Now, let’s identify each part based on standard eye anatomy and where the lines point:
Starting from the front (left side) of the eye:
1. The very first clear outer layer at the front →
CORNEA
2. Just behind the cornea, the colored part →
IRIS
3. The hole in the center of the iris →
PUPIL
4. Behind the pupil, the transparent structure that focuses light →
LENS
5. The ligaments holding the lens in place →
SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT
6. The muscle around the lens that helps it change shape →
CILIARY BODY
7. The fluid-filled space between cornea and lens →
AQUEOUS HUMOR
8. The white outer coat of the eye →
SCLERA
9. The middle vascular layer under the sclera →
CHOROID
10. The innermost light-sensitive layer →
RETINA
11. The yellow spot on the retina for sharp vision →
FOVEA
12. The gel-like substance filling the back of the eye →
VITREOUS HUMOR
13. The nerve carrying signals to the brain →
OPTIC NERVE
14. Where the optic nerve exits the eye (no photoreceptors) →
OPTIC DISK
15. The blood vessel running through the optic nerve →
CENTRAL ARTERY
Now, matching these to the blanks in order as they appear in the diagram (from top-left clockwise or following the line directions):
Top left column (front of eye):
→ Cornea
→ Iris
→ Pupil
→ Lens
→ Suspensory Ligament
→ Ciliary Body
→ Aqueous Humor
Bottom left (outer layers):
→ Sclera
→ Choroid
→ Retina
→ Fovea
Right side (back of eye):
→ Vitreous Humor
→ Optic Nerve
→ Central Artery
→ Optic Disk
Final Answer:
Cornea, Iris, Pupil, Lens, Suspensory Ligament, Ciliary Body, Aqueous Humor, Sclera, Choroid, Retina, Fovea, Vitreous Humor, Optic Nerve, Central Artery, Optic Disk
