Question
Chapter 16, Problem 17DYKB
Summary Introduction
To compare:
Lacrimal fluid and aqueous humor in terms of their circulation, formation, and function.
Concept introduction:
There are various parts of the eyes like aqueous humor, vitreous humor, retina, iris, pupil and so on. All the parts of eyes have different functions like pupil and iris help in regulating the amount of light entering the eye, lens help in focussing the rays of light in the retina. Retina functions as the screen on which image can be formed and so on.
