Title: Eye Histology - Please me identify these parts ;A;
Post by: Kurikuri on Sep 20, 2014
Hello :) I wanted to ask for help since I've been trying to identify this structure (with the big arrow) for several minutes now. I already identified the others but I've drawn the rest on my paper.
I was wondering what that structure (with the big arrow) is .. is it an artifact?

I also have this other photo. It was difficult for me to locate where the optic nerve was since the retina was continuous and I wasn't able to locate the 'blind spot' area, so I'm trying to guess if this structure (pointed by the big arrow) is the optic nerve?

Thank you for your help :D I'm really having a hard time ;A;

This one.. I'm not sure if it's the optic nerve since I cannot find the blind spot.. where there are supposedly no photoreceptors..

I'm guessing this is a histology course and you're looking at the anatomy of the eye?

Ah yes... we both have gross anatomy and histology (microanatomy)..

I think I already solved the problem~ I analyzed and realized that the pointed structure is actually the cornea... the structure above it is the conjunctiva~

As for the 2nd photo, I've confirmed that it really is the optic nerve~
