Copper deposits in this organ can form Kayser-Fleischer rings, (10[2])seen in Wilson’s disease. Three concentric (-5[1])layers of tissue (10[1])make up this organ that contains a vascular tunic. The ciliary body synthesizes aqueous humor in this organ. LRATs in this organ carry out an isomerization reaction in order to restore the function of opsins. Nyctalopia (“nik-ta-LOP-ee-uh”) in this organ occurs as a result of vitamin A deficiency. The fovea in this organ (10[2])contains a high density of cones, and this (10[1])organ is affected in conditions like glaucoma (10[1])and astigmatism.
