Which of the Following is Located in the Posterior Cavity

Question

Which of the following is located in the posterior cavity of the eyeball?
A) Vitreous humor
B) Cornea
C) Lens
D) Ciliary muscle

Accepted Answer

The vitreous humor is a clear gel-like substance that fills the posterior cavity of the eyeball, occupying about two thirds of its volume. This gel maintains the shape of the eye, supports the retina, and helps to refract light. The cornea is located at the front of the eye and acts as a protective layer and helps to focus light. The lens is located behind the iris and helps to focus light onto the retina. The ciliary muscle is located in the middle layer of the eye and controls the shape of the lens for focusing.
