Explanation / Answer

6. D. Palpebrae.

Eyelids are also known as palpebrae.The five accessory structures of eye include eyelid, eyelashes, eyebrow,lacrimal apparatus and extrinsic eye muscles.

7.D. to keep the eyes moist

Transparent anterior portion of sclera is cornea.  It refracts the light entering the eye.

10.A.iris.

Iris is a contractile smooth muscle surrounding the pupil. It controls the pupil size.

11.c. fovea centralis.

Fovea centralis has the highest number of cones and is necessary for fine detailed vision.

12.D. canal of Schlemm

The sinus venosus sclerae is also known as canal of Schlemm. it is present at the sclerocorneal junction.

13.A. rods

Rhodopsin is a pigment found in rods and is required for vision in dim light.

14.E pupillary reflexes, variations in rod and cone function and changes in available rhodopsin.

15.A. is a function of cone cells.

Cones contain light sensitive pigments that help us in viewing colors.
