What process is mainly responsible for production of aqueous (80-90%)?	Active secretion	75%
This layer of the ciliary body is continuous with the iris stroma.	Ciliary stroma	75%
This is an antioxidant is found 20X more in aqueous than blood.	Ascorbate	63%
This layer consists of 2 basement membranes, 2 collagenous zones (inner and outer) and an elastic layer in the center.	Bruch's membrane	63%
This layer of the choroid is a specialized fenestrated layer nearest to the retina and densest under the macula.	Choriocapillaris	63%
The movement of which two ions primarily drive aqueous secretion?	Na+	63%
This layer of the choroid is the outermost layer and is a potential space between the sclera and choroidal vessels.	Suprachoroid	63%
The outermost layer of the choroid adjacent to the sclera.	Supraciliaris	63%
Areas in between ciliary processes are called valleys of what?	Kuhnt	50%
This layer of the ciliary body is continuous with the neural retina.	Nonpigmented ciliary epithelium	50%
These arteries form the choroid (they branch from the ophthalmic artery).	Short ciliary arteries	50%
The 3 layers of the ciliary muscle are the longitudinal muscle fibers (of Brucke), the radial fibers, and what?	(Muller's) annular muscle	38%
These specialized barriers prevent large molecules like proteins from entering the aqueous and help create the blood aqueous barrier.	Tight junctions	38%
	Cl-	25%
Parasympathetic stimulation of the choroidal vessels causes the release of NO and what?	Vasodilation	13%
