Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "white" of the eye is the sclera, which is a tough, fibrous outer layer that maintains the shape of the eye and protects the inner structures.

Answer: D 
 The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris that regulates the amount of light entering the eye.

Answer: G 
 The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the diameter of the pupil and thus the amount of light that enters the eye.

Answer: I 
 The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus incoming light.

Answer: J 
 The optic disc is the area in the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye and there are no photoreceptor cells, creating a "blind spot."
