The document summarizes the anatomy and structures of the human eye. It describes the accessory structures like eyelids, lacrimal apparatus, and extraocular muscles. It then details the three tunics that make up the eyeball: the fibrous tunic (cornea and sclera), vascular tunic (choroid, ciliary body, and iris), and nervous tunic (retina). Each tunic and their roles in vision are explained. The interior structures of the cornea, retina, and their functions in processing light and forming images are outlined.
The human eye is an organ that reacts to light in many circumstances. As a conscious sense organ, the human eye allows vision; rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision, including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors.
The visual pathway/visual system is the part of central nervous system which gives organisms the ability to process visual detail , as well as enabling the formation of several non-image photo response functions.
It detects interprets information from visible light to build a representation of the surrounding environment .
The visual system carries out a number of complex tasks , including the reception of light and the formation of monocular representations; the buildup of a nuclear binocular perception from a pair of two dimensional projections ; the identification and categorization of visual objects ; assessing distances to and between objects and guiding body movements in relation to the objects seen.

Vision is by far the most used of the five senses and is one of the primary means that we use to gather information from our surroundings. More than 75% of the information we receive about the world around us consists of visual information.
The eye is often compared to a camera. Each gathers light and then transforms that light into a "picture." Both also have lenses to focus the incoming light. Just as a camera focuses light onto the film to create a picture, the eye focuses light onto a specialized layer of cells, called the retina.
The human eye is an organ which reacts to light and pressure. As a sense organ, the mammalian eye allows vision. Human eyes help to provide a three dimensional, moving image, normally coloured in daylight. Rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can differentiate between about 10 million colors[1] and is possibly capable of detecting a single photon.
Vitreous humour
1. Vitreous Humour
2. General features Vitreous humour is an inert ,transparent , colourless, jellylike, hydrophilic gel that serves the optical functions and also acts as important supporting structures for the eyeball. The vitreous cavity is bounded by anteriorly by the lens and ciliary body and posteriorly by the retina Its weighs nearly 4g Vitreous is an extacellular material composed of approximately 99 per cent water
3. Structure The vitreous body is the largest and simplest connective tissue present as a single piece in the human body Divided into three parts- 1. The hyaloid layer or membrane 2. The cortical vitreous and 3. The medullary vitreous
in this ppt we describe about anatomy of eyeball( cornea, sclera, choroid, iris, retina, ciliary body, vitreous etc..), dimension of the eyeball, coats of the eyeball.
The human eye: is the most valuable and sensitive sense organ and it is a natural optical instrument. The important parts of the eye: Cornea, Iris, Pupil, Eye Lens, Retina.
Power of Accommodation: The ability of the eye to focus objects lying at different distances is called the power of accommodation of the eye.
Least Distance of Distinct Vision Near point: Near point or least distance of distinct vision is the point nearest to the eye at which an object is visible distinctly
The far point of the eye:
Far point of the eye is the maximum distance up to which the normal eye can see things clearly. It is infinity for a normal eye.
The twinkling of a star is due to atmospheric refraction of starlight.
Scattering of light:
When a beam of light falls on an atom, it causes the electron in the atom to vibrate. The vibrating electrons, in turn, re-emit light in all directions. This process is called scattering.

Anatomy of Eye by radhika kulvi, M.Sc nursingRadhika kulvi
The eye is a paired organ, the organ of vision. The eye is made up of various components, which enable it to receive light stimuli from the environment, and deliver this stimuli to the brain in the form of an electrical signal. Vision involves all components of the eye.
DEFINITION:The human eye is a sensory organ,that reacts to visible light and allow to use visual information for various purposes including seeing things,keeping our balance and circadian rhythm.
STRUCTURE
The eye is contained within the bony orbit of the head. The bony orbit is a cavity, comprising parts of the lacrimal bone (includes fossa for nasolacrimal duct) and the maxilla (includes caudal foramen of infraorbital canal). It is continuous with the temporal bone and the pterygopalatine fossa caudally. It is situated in the orbital cavity and is supplied by 2nd cranial nerve.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
4. Eye Lids
It’s a movable thin skin folds covering the eyes
Plays a role in the protection of the eye from
injury by rapid closure.
The eye lids include the tarsal glands that
secretes oily material for lubrication and prevents
evaporation of tears and stabilize the tear film.
5. Eye Lash & Eye brows
The eye lashes and eye brows provide extra
protection for the eye by preventing the entrance
of microbial agents and dust and other matter that
can cause harm to the eye.
7. Lacrimal Apparatus
The Lacrimal apparatus is made up of many
structures that is involved in nutrition , protection
against pathogens and hydration roles.
The Lacrimal gland is located superior to the eye
lids and is an exocrine gland ( secretes in a duct
).
8. Lacrimal Apparatus
The Lacrimal ducts dump the tears on the surface
of the conjunctiva coming from the Lacrimal
gland directly and they range from 6 to 12 duct.
The Lacrimal puncta are 2 opening that collects
the tears from conjunctiva and drains them to
Lacrimal canal.
The Lacrimal canal starts at the Lacrimal punctum
and ends at the Lacrimal sac , it delivers the tears
to the Lacrimal sac.
9. Lacrimal Apparatus
The nasolacrimal duct descends from the
Lacrimal sac to open at the meatus in the nose.
10. The Conjunctiva
The Conjunctiva is a transparent mucosal layer
that extends from the corneal junction to the inner
portion of the eye.
The Conjunctiva is divided into 2 parts : Bulbar &
Palpebral.
The Bulbar conjunctiva is thin , slightly vascular
and surrounds the eye ball.
The Palpebral is dense , highly vascular and
located in the inner layer of the lid .
11. The Tear film
The tear film have 3 layers :
Lipid layer : is the outermost layer
and is produced by Meibomian gland forms
a hydrophobic barrier to trap water and prevent
its evaporation.
Aqueous (watery) layer : is the layer between
lipid and mucous layer and contains water and
proteins which has bactericidal activity also the
aqueous layer regulates the osmotic pressure .
12. The Tear film
The mucus layer : is produced by goblet cells
found in the conjunctiva and provide a hydrophilic
layer to ensure the even distribution of tears
along the tear film.
13. Extra Ocular Muscles
The extra ocular muscles spread along the eye
ball and maintains the flexible movement of the
eye .
There are 7 muscles :
i. The palpebral superior muscle : thin muscle
that lifts the upper lid.
ii. The four recti ( superior , inferior , medialis and
lateralis) : the superior rectus enables the
upward movement , the inferior downwards ,
the medialis inward and finally the lateralis
outwards movement.
iii. The oblique muscles ( superior obliquus and
inferior obliquus muscle )
15. Fibrous tunic
Is the outer covering of the eye it includes :
a. The cornea
b. The sclera
16. The Cornea
Dome shaped , transparent and non vascularized
layer.
Forms the outer cover of the eye .
Contains highly organized cells and collagen
fibers.
Should remain transparent to ensure correct
refraction of light.
Serves as a shield against bacteria , dust and
harmful materials.
Gets its nourishment from the aqueous humor
surrounding it.
17. The cornea
The cornea is composed of 5 layers
1) The epithelial layer
2) The bowman’s membrane
3) Stroma
4) Descemet’s membrane
5) Endothelium
18. The cornea
The epithelial layer : is the outermost layer of the
cornea it includes 5 to 7 layers of epithelial cells :
1. Squamous cells layer : is covered by microvilli
that absorbs the tears and keep the epithelial
cells hydrated.
2. The wing cell layer : composed of wing cells
that is attached to each other via desmosomes
which provide them with communicating
abilities.
3. The basal cell layer : basal cells play a role in
renewing the layer by multiplication and
providing new wing cells that migrate to change
to new squamous cells which replace the old
squamous layer cells .
20. The cornea
The epithelial cells layer provide barrier to dust
and infectious agents and prevents the
electrolytes from tears to reach the stroma.
The epithelial cells provide also a soft surface
that is permeable to oxygen and nutrients via
lacrimation.
21. The cornea
Bowman’s Membrane : contains collagen fibers
and once injured regeneration is impossible.
Stroma layer :
• Thickest layer of the cornea .
• Contains : 78 % water , 16 % collagen and keratocytes.
• It has a unique arrangement of collagen fibers in which they
maintain the transparency of the cornea.
• The space between collagen fibers and keratocytes is filled
with ground substance made up of keratin sulfate and
chondroitin sulfate.
22. The cornea
The Descemet’s membrane has 2 different layers
in which the side facing the stroma have collagen
fibers and the side facing the endothelium have
endothelial cells .
Descemet’s membrane have the ability to
regenerate after injury.
Descemet’s membrane provide shield against
injury and infection
23. The cornea :
The Endothelial layer is the innermost layer of the
cornea.
The Endothelial layer pumps from the stroma the
any excess fluid and prevents its swelling
therefore it has a role in maintenance of a clear
and transparent cornea.
The Endothelium lacks the ability to regenerate
after injury.
24. The cornea
The main function of the cornea is to refract light
and direct it towards the lens .
The lens accommodates and refocus the light on
the retina .
The retina transfers the image to nervous impulse
that is transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve
The brain analyses the image .
The cornea also eliminates the UV light rays from
the sun which is harmful for the human eye.
25. The sclera
The sclera is the outer covering of the eye except
for the area of the cornea.
It provide protection and shape to the eye.
Its superior to the choroid and posteriorly is
pierced to the optic nerve
The sclera is composed of :
Elastic fibers
Collagen fibers
Fibroblasts
Blood vessels
26. Vascular tunic ( uvea )
Is the middle layer of the eye and is composed of
3 constituents :
o The choroid
o The ciliary body
o Iris
27. The Choroid
Is located inferior to the sclera and superior to the
retina.
Dark brown tissue.
Highly vascularized.
It provides the retina with nutrients and oxygen.
The choroid prevents the
scattered light from reaching
the retina.
28. The Ciliary Body
The ciliary body is divided into 2 parts :
The Ciliary processes : which have secretary
function .
The ciliary muscles : which have mechanical
function.
29. The Ciliary Body
The ciliary processes is responsible to secrete the
aqueous humor to the anterior cavity to supply
the lens and cornea with nutrients since they are
not vascularized.
Aqueous humor contains glucose and amino
acids and respiratory gases.
30. The Ciliary Body
Ciliary muscles are responsible for the
accommodation of the lens by contraction and
relaxation which changes the shape of the lens to
flat or sphere depending on the distance of the
object.
31. Iris
The iris is located between the lens and the
cornea .
The iris divides the eye ball into anterior and
posterior chambers.
The iris have 2 muscles :
Sphincter muscles : contracts in high light exposure and the pupil
reduces its diameter allowing less light to pass.
Dilator muscles : contracts at low light exposure and the pupil will
dilate its diameter allowing more light to pass.
32. Nervous tunic ( Retina )
The Retina is located below the choroid .
Is where the image is formed and transferred to brain via
optic nerve.
Composed of 10 layers :
1. Retinal Pigment epithelium.
2. The lamina of cones & rods.
3. External limiting lamina
4. Outer nuclear layer
5. Outer plexiform layer
6. Inner nuclear layer
7. Inner plexiform layer
8. Ganglion layer
9. Lamina of nerve fibers
10. The internal limiting lamina
33. Retina
Retinal pigment layer :
Contains melanin containing epithelial cells between choroid and
neural portion.
Its involved in the renewal of rod and cones photoreceptor cells
by phagocyting the old aging cells.
Also the retinal pigment layer absorbs light and prevents the
reflection and scattering of light.
34. The neural portion
It includes all the 9 layers above the retinal
pigment layer.
Its responsible for the early analysis of visual
information before sending to the brain.
The neurons are classified through which light
passes through:
1. The ganglion cell layer
2. The bipolar cell layer
3. Photoreceptor layer
36. The neural portion
The ganglion layer : is the final common pathway
that the nerve impulse crosses since their
dendrites reach the bipolar cells and the axons
extends to the CNS.
The bipolar cell layer : each cell with one or more
dendrites extending to the cones or rods and
horizontal cells and interplexiform cells , they
have short axons and they are 2 types :
Cone bipolar cells communicate with cone cells.
Rod bipolar cells communicate with rod cells .
37. The neural portion
Photoreceptor layer : ( the layer of cones and rods ) it
transduces the light to the receptor due to the
presence of :
120x10^6 rod neuron
6x10^6 cone neuron
both cones and rods
have outer segment
and inner segment
together they form a
cone or a rod process .
The inner segment decides if the photoreceptor is a
cone or a
Rod.
38. The neural portion
The rods are responsible for the black and white
vision and they are more than cones and they are
concentrated at the peripheral retina and
decreases in number as you reach the fovea.
The cones are responsible for the colored vision
and they are less in number than rods and they
are concentrated(25 000) at the fovea in the
macula which is a depression where the retina is
extremely thin making the choroid beneath
visible.
39. The neural portion
These photo pigment are made up of glycoprotein
called opsin and a chromatophore forming the
cis-retinal a derivative of vitamin A.
Retinal undergoes structural change when
exposed to light and this change initiates a
nervous impulse across the nerves.
40. The neural portion
Retinal photo pigment is found in 2 isomer forms :
Cis-Retinal (inactive form )
Trans-Retinal ( active form )
At day time Cis-Retinal gets exposed to light it gets
activated and releases opsin and undergoes a
structural change to trans-retinal form which causes
the inhibition of glutamate neurotransmitter release
and causes the closure of sodium channels which
causes a hyper polarization and initiation of a nervous
impulse along the nerves.
41. The neural portion
The trans-retinal form causes the activation of an
enzyme transducin enzyme.
Transducin enzyme will activate another enzyme
called Phosphodieseterase (PDE) causing the closure
of Na channels.
Na ions decrease inside the cell and by that the
charge intracellular will decrease until it unleashes an
action potential .
At night time when the light is too low to activate the
rhodopsin and release a nerve impulse , glutamate
neurotransmitter is highly secreted which transports
the impulse.
42. The Interior eye ball
The Eye ball is divided by the lens into 2 parts :
The anterior cavity .
The posterior cavity ( the vitreous cavity).
43. Eye ball
The Anterior cavity includes 2 sections :
Anterior chamber ( between cornea and iris )
Posterior chamber ( between iris and the lens )
Anterior cavity is filled with aqueous humor. The
aqueous humor is rich in glucose nutrients and
respiratory gases its used to enrichment of the
unvascularized organs.
The vitreous chamber is filled with vitreous
humour which is colorless gel like constancy due
to the presence of collagen fibers.
Vitreous humour also keeps the retina in place by
pushing it against the choroid.
44. The lens
The eye lens is located between vitreous humour and
the iris
The eye lens is 9 to 10 mm in diameter.
Attached to the ciliary body via thin filaments called
zonula fibers.
The lens is made up of 3 parts :
o Nucleus
o Capsule
o Cortex
The lens is unvascularized and transparent
The lens fibers are rich with :
Crystalline ( gives the elasticity and retractile properties ).
Actin ( maintain the shape of the lens.
