(10[1])Three concentric (10[1])layers of tissue make up (-5[1])this (10[1])organ that contains a vascular tunic. The ciliary body synthesizes aqueous (10[1])humor in this organ. LRATs in (10[1])this organ carry out an isomerization reaction in order to restore the function of opsins. (10[1])Nyctalopia (“nik-ta-LOP-ee-uh”) in this organ occurs as a result of vitamin A deficiency. (-5[1])The fovea in this organ contains a high density of cones, and this organ is affected (10[1])in conditions like glaucoma and astigmatism.
