Question

What statement is wrong about conjunctiva?

• A. Ectodermal origin
• B. Presents on the central part of cornea
• C. Vascular
• D. Covers the anterior part of sclera

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Presents on the central part of cornea

The epithelium of cornea, lens, and conjunctiva are of ectodermal origin. It is made up of the surface ectoderm. It is absent in the central part of the cornea. Conjunctiva is supplied with blood vessels. It is highly vasculated in the form of fine capillaries. The sclera is the opaque part of the fibrous coat which covers the posterior part of the eyeball. The conjunctiva covers the sclera. The sclera is visible through the transparent bulbar conjunctiva.

So, the correct answer is option B.
