Which structure of the eye does not contain blood vessels?
The lens. The lens is a transparent olive-shaped structure in the eye that has no blood vessels.
Which part of the eye is not actually a structure but rather an opening created by the iris muscle?
The iris is made up of muscle fibres which help to control the size of the pupil. The pupil is not an actual structure but the circular opening in the middle of the iris. The pupil appears as the dark central part of the eye.
What is choroidal?
The choroid (pronounced “CORE-oyd”) is a spongy layer of blood vessels that lines the back wall of the eye between the retina and the sclera (or the white part of the eye). It plays an important role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the outer half of the retina.
Where are rods and cones located?
retina
The retina of the eye has two types of light-sensitive cells called rods and cones, both found in layer at the back of your eye which processes images. Cones are cone shaped structures and are required for bright light (day light) vision.
Which of the following is not a blood vessels?
As well as the cornea, other areas of the body that don’t have blood vessels include hair, nails, tooth enamel and the outer skin layers.
Which tissue does not contain blood vessels?
Epithelial tissues
Epithelial tissues do not contain blood vessels and as such are avascular. Connective tissues are usually highly vascular and so the nearby connective tissue provides essential nutrients (from the blood) to the epithelial tissue.
Which of the following is not part of the eye?
Cervix is not a part of the human eye. The cervix is the lower narrow portion of the uterus.
Which structure of the eye is the most sensitive but contains no blood vessels?
Cornea
Cornea: the transparent circular part of the front of the eyeball. It refracts the light entering the eye onto the lens, which then focuses it onto the retina. The cornea contains no blood vessels and is extremely sensitive to pain.

What is the blood supply to the eye?
The eye is supplied by the ophthalmic artery, which is the first branch of the internal carotid artery, when it has travelled passed the cavernous sinus. The ophthalmic artery has numerous branches that supply the muscles that move the eye and surround the eye, the eyelid and the eyeball itself.
What are the vessels and nerves of the eye?
Innervation of the eyeball and surrounding structures is provided by the optic, oculomotor, trochlear, abducens and trigeminal cranial nerves. This article covers the anatomy, function and clinical relevance of the vessels and nerves of the eye.
What are arteries and veins?
Arteries (in red) are the blood vessels that deliver blood to the body. Veins (in blue) are the blood vessels that return blood to the heart.
