Let’s solve Q.3 and Q.4 step by step.

Q.3: Label the parts of the eye
We are given a diagram of the human eye with blank labels, and a word bank:
Word Bank:
- Macula
- Iris
- Optic nerve
- Pupil
- Conjunctiva
- Ciliary muscle
- Sclera
- Retina
- Lens
- Cornea
- Retinal blood vessels
- Vitreous body
We need to match each label on the diagram (left side has 7 blanks, right side has 5 blanks) to the correct part.
Let’s go from front to back of the eye (left to right in the diagram):
Left Side (Front to Back):
1. Outermost clear layer at the very front → That’s the Cornea
2. Colored part behind cornea → That’s the Iris
3. Black circle in center of iris → That’s the Pupil
4. Clear structure behind pupil that focuses light → That’s the Lens
5. Muscle around lens that changes its shape → That’s the Ciliary muscle
6. White outer layer covering most of eyeball → That’s the Sclera
7. Thin transparent membrane over sclera and inside eyelids → That’s the Conjunctiva *(Note: sometimes labeled near front surface)*
Wait — let’s double-check placement based on standard diagrams.
Actually, looking at typical eye diagrams:
From left (front) to right (back):
Top-left blank (pointing to outer front surface): Cornea
Below that (colored ring): Iris
Center black dot: Pupil
Behind pupil: Lens
Around lens: Ciliary muscle
White outer wall: Sclera
Very thin layer over sclera/cornea: Conjunctiva — but often not labeled separately in basic diagrams unless specified.
But we have 7 blanks on left — so likely:
Left side (top to bottom or front to back):
Assuming the blanks are arranged vertically on left:
1. Top-left pointing to front surface → Cornea
2. Below that, colored part → Iris
3. Center hole → Pupil
4. Behind pupil → Lens
5. Around lens → Ciliary muscle
6. White outer coat → Sclera
7. Thin layer over front → Conjunctiva
Now right side (inner/back parts):
Right side has 5 blanks:
1. Inner lining at back → Retina
2. Blood vessels on retina → Retinal blood vessels
3. Gel-like substance filling eye → Vitreous body
4. Small dark spot on retina (center of vision) → Macula
5. Nerve exiting back of eye → Optic nerve
Yes — that matches all 12 terms.
So labeling order (assuming left column top to bottom, then right column top to bottom):
Left Column (7 labels):
1. Cornea
2. Iris
3. Pupil
4. Lens
5. Ciliary muscle
6. Sclera
7. Conjunctiva
Right Column (5 labels):
8. Retina
9. Retinal blood vessels
10. Vitreous body
11. Macula
12. Optic nerve
*(Note: Depending on exact arrow positions, “Conjunctiva” might be placed differently — but it’s usually the thin membrane covering the white part and inner eyelid. In many school diagrams, it’s shown as a line over the sclera near front.)*
But since we must assign all 12 words, and there are 12 blanks, this assignment covers them all correctly.

Q.4: Which part controls the size of the pupil?
Options:
a) Macula
b) Iris
c) Lens
d) Sclera
Think: The pupil is the black hole in the middle. What makes it get bigger or smaller?
→ It’s the iris — the colored part — that contracts or relaxes to change the pupil size depending on light.
Example: In bright light, iris shrinks pupil; in dim light, iris opens pupil wider.
So answer is b) Iris

Final Answer:
Q.3 Labels (in order as per typical diagram layout — left column top to bottom, then right column top to bottom):
Left:
1. Cornea
2. Iris
3. Pupil
4. Lens
5. Ciliary muscle
6. Sclera
7. Conjunctiva
Right:
8. Retina
9. Retinal blood vessels
10. Vitreous body
11. Macula
12. Optic nerve
Q.4: b) Iris
