Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the posterior chamber of the eye, behind the lens. It helps to maintain the shape of the eye and provides support to the retina.

Answer: C 
 The aqueous humor is a clear, watery fluid that fills the anterior chamber of the eye, between the cornea and the lens. It helps to provide nutrients and oxygen to the cornea and lens, and carries away waste products. It is not jellylike.

Answer: D 
 The humors do not help keep the outside of the eye moist. The tear film and the lacrimal gland are responsible for keeping the outside of the eye moist.

Therefore, the only true statement is A) The vitreous humor fills the chamber behind the lens.
