Question

Aqueous and vitreous humors are separated by _______.

• A. Lens
• B. Iris
• C. Retina
• D. Optic nerve

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lens

A. Lens is a transparent and crystalline structure present in eye which focusses the light rays to form an image on the retina.

B. Iris surrounds the pupil and regulates the amount of light entering the eye by controlling the size of pupil. It has cells of varying colours and hence imparts colour to the eye.

C. Retina is present in the inner layer of eye. The image is perceived by brain and formed on the retina.

D. Optic nerve is a cranial nerve that carries visual information to the brain.

Aqueous humour is present between cornea and lens and Vitreous humour is the transparent gel present between lens and retina. They are separated from each other by lens.

So, the correct answer is 'Lens'.
