Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The retina is the innermost layer of the eye and contains the photoreceptors (rods and cones) that detect light and transmit signals to the brain. The middle layer of the eye is the choroid, and the cornea is a specialized, transparent structure at the front of the eye that allows light to enter. The aqueous humor is a fluid produced by the ciliary body that helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides nutrients to the lens and cornea.
