Question

Parts A, B, C and D of the human eye are shown in the diagram. Select the option which gives correct identification along with its functions/ characteristics.

• A. B- Blind spot - has only a few rods and cones
• B. C- Aqueous chamber - increase pressure inside the eye
• C. A- Choroid - is anterior part forms ciliary body
• D. D- Retina - contains photo receptors - rods and cones

Answer 1

The correct option is B C- Aqueous chamber - increase pressure inside the eye

• The space between the cornea and the lens is called the aqueous chamber and contains a thin watery fluid called aqueous humour.
• It Maintains the intraocular pressure and inflates the globe of the eye. It is this hydrostatic pressure which keeps the eyeball in a roughly spherical shape and keeps the walls of the eyeball stretched.
• Hence, the option which gives correct identification along with its functions/characteristics is C- Aqueous chamber - increase pressure inside the eye.
• So, the correct answer is 'C- Aqueous chamber - increase pressure inside the eye'.
