Cross-section of the Human Eye.

This comprehensive anatomical illustration presents a cross-section of the human eye, labeling key structures responsible for vision and ocular movement. The external anatomy includes the anterior chamber, cornea, conjunctiva, and pupil, along with the upper and lower lids. The illustration also highlights the aqueous humor found in the anterior and posterior chambers, as well as the inferior and superior fornices.

Internally, the image provides a clear view of the lens, suspended by the suspensory ligament, and the vitreous humor filling the central portion of the eye. Surrounding layers, including the choroid layer, retina, and sclera, are precisely labeled. The optic nerve connects to the central retinal artery and vein at the back of the eye, demonstrating the pathway for visual information to reach the brain.

The illustration also details the medial rectus muscle and lateral rectus muscle, which control the eye’s movement. Other important components such as the ciliary body, iris, and fovea are depicted, demonstrating their role in focusing light and sharp vision.

This eye cross-section illustration is ideal for use in textbooks, medical journals, educational articles, or online resources that require accurate and visually engaging depictions of human anatomy.
