Question

The hollow of the eye is divided into the aqueous chamber and vitreous chamber by the
A. Optic nerve
B. Retina
C. Lens
D. Iris

Answer 1

A transparent biconvex structure that is attached to the ciliary body ligaments and it helps in dividing the eye hollow into the anterior and posterior compartments. The anterior compartment is known as the aqueous chamber and the posterior compartment is known as the vitreous chamber.

Complete answer: The iris is an annular and thin structure in the human eye, that is responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. Along with the pupil, it is responsible for regulating the amount of light that enters the eye. Movement in the muscular iris leads to shrinkage of the pupil if there is too much light, but in the case of dim light, the pupil dilates. This involuntary action is controlled by the brain. The iris is made up of smooth muscle fibres and connective tissues. The pupil size is controlled by the movement of the pupillary sphincter muscle and dilator muscle. In an individual, the iris comprehends image through an automated biometric identification. The lens is attached through the ciliary body and its function is to divide the aqueous and vitreous chamber.

Hence, the correct option is C-Lens.

Note: Lens is a transparent structure that remains suspended behind the iris. The iris is an annular structure that controls the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light entering the retina is controlled. The iris of the eye helps in determining the eye color of an individual.
