The anterior chamber is larger than the posterior chamber and is the area of the eye from the back of the cornea to the iris.
Through a small gap between the iris and the lens, the aqueous humor passes from the posterior chamber of the eye into the anterior chamber and finally flows out again at the edge of the eye (the chamber angle), where the iris and cornea collide.
Through this small channel (Schlemm's canal) the aqueous humor is led into the bloodstream. If this outflow is disturbed, the intraocular pressure can increase and the risk of glaucoma increases.
Anatomy of the human eye
Optic nerve (lat. Nervus opticus) in the eye
The optic nerve is responsible for ensuring that information from the retina reaches the brain. The concentrated bundle of millions of nerve fibers converts the light stimuli from the retina into impulses and sends them to ...
Inner eye shell
The inner shell forms the retina. It is used to receive light stimuli. The light impressions are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve and processed there.
Blind spot (papilla)
The so-called blind spot is the point in the eye where the retina is interrupted and merges with the optic nerve. Since there are no light receptors at this point, ...
