Across
- 4. the gel-like liquid that fills the cavity behind the lens to help maintain the shape of the eyeball
- 7. a nerve that transmits visual signals from the eye to the brain
- 9. the colored circle surrounding the pupil of the eye; a smooth muscle that enlarges and diminishes the pupil
- 10. a little aperture in the middle of the iris and uvea of the eye through which the rays of light pass to the crystalline humor to be painted on the retina

Down
- 1. one of the coats of the eye, being an expansion of the optic nerve over the bottom of the eye, where the sense of vision is first received
- 2. flexible fibers that hold the lens in its place
- 3. clear fluid filling the space between the lens and the cornea
- 5. clear, flexible, convex shaped body that refracts the light projected on the retina, located between the cornea and the vitreous body
