    end
    X5 ==> X6[Vitrous Humor];
    X2 -.-> X2x[Protects from Pathogen invasion];

Sclera

    end

Uvea

1. Chroid - Pigment and Vascularised 
2. Ciliary - Pigmented ,Vascularised and Smooth muscle 
3. Iris
graph TD
    X[Uvea] ==> X1[Chroid] & X2[Ciliary] & X3[Iris];
    X2 ==>|and Anterior non pigmented Retina| X2a[Ciliary Process];
    X2a -.-> X2a1[Zonular Fibres] & X2a2[Aqueous Humor];
    X2a2 ==> X2a2a[Nutrient to Lens and Cornea];

F of Aqueous Humor

graph TD
    X[Arterial Supplied Ciliary Process Produces Aqueous fluid] ==>|into region between Iris 
    and Lens| X1[Posterior Chamber];
    X1 ==>|to in front of lens| X2[Pupil];
    X2 ==>|between iris and Cornea| X3[Anterior Chamber];
    X3 ==>|drains into | X4[Canal of Schlemm 
    corneal Scleral Junction Venus vessel];

Function of Chroid

  1. Light absorption
  2. blood supply

Function of Ciliary Process

Ciliary Process

  • Pigment to absorb light
  • Ciliary Muscle with ciliary processes produce
      Zonular Fibres
    attached to lens
  • Ciliary Process produce Aqueous Humor

Retina

graph LR
    X[retina] ==>|innermost near Chroid| X1[Pigmented];
    X ==>|next to Pigmented| X2[Non-Pigmneted];
    X2 ==>|at shadow of iris| x2a[Anterior];
    X2 ==>|middle | X2b[Posterior];
