Title: OPH103 Ocular Anatomy and Physiology
Course Description:
This course describes in detail the anatomy of the human eye. Included in this course are the embryology and development of the eye, orbit and adnexae (external structures surrounding the eye), the extraocular muscles and nerves that supply them. The brows, eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, anterior segment, refractive structures, and posterior segment, are discussed at length. The specialized tissues, aqueous, iris, ciliary body, vitreous, and retinal histology will be studied. The complex vascular and nerve supply to the eye and surrounding structures, visual pathways and cerebral visual cortex is described.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of taking this course the student will be able to:
Describe and label the anatomic structures of the eye, and discuss the function of each structure as it relates to the visual process
