Question

Is aqueous humor pulp of the eye?

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,
A water like fluid, produced by the ciliary body, it fills the front of the eye between the lens and cornea and provides the cornea and lens with oxygen and nutrients. It drains back into the blood stream through the canals of schlemm. The vitreous humor is a jelly like liquid that fills most of the eye (from the lens back). As we age it changes from a gel to a liquid and gradually shrinks separating from the retina. This is when people start seeing floaters, dark specs in their vision. This is a normal sign of aging, but in a few cases the retina can become detached as the vitreous separates.
Since the larger part in eye internally in covered by vitreous humour so it will act more like the pulp of the eye rather than aqueous humour.
