	I misspelled retina as retna and ritna. I am dishonored!

	Edge:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	9 points
	7/18, I feel I got all the answers someone not versed in medicine should get. So what are rods and cones then if they don't appear as answers here?

	AntieAnnie:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	4 points
	Super hard! Yet sporcle is still bringin' it! @mitch - what is the seventh that a non-medical-type "should" get. I got the top six, but NO idea what vitreous body is.

	nerd:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 05:29 GMT	7 points
	@mitch - rods and cones are photoreceptor cells found in the retina, so i'm assuming there wouldn't be a good way to label them as anatomical parts of the eye!

	Retina! facepalm

	lil_lemur:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 08:50 GMT	5 points
	yep - got the 7 that my non-medical knowledge allowed. But i am a speccy, 4-eyed, bicycle face, so maybe i've picked up these from my regular optician visits.

	Excellent quiz. I really need to brush up on high school anatomy...

	I learned Vitreous Humor not Vitreous Body.

Comment below threshold: show it

	AhLeah:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 10:13 GMT	6 points
	I missed LENS. bangs head on the wall

	AhLeah:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 10:15 GMT	5 points
	And conjunctiva, which is only significant because I was off work and stuck in a dark room for a MONTH with conjunctivitis. You'd think I'd remember after all that boredom.

	i onyl got 7, which is bad since im supposed to be versed in eye anatomy, both human an non, lol. in my defence, i was taught different words for some parts, but mostly, i think i just need to brush up!! awesome quiz though, more like it please!!

	Edge:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 10:45 GMT	2 points
	@Saver - I didn't say that the seven I got were those answers, just that I got them ;) I think the top six are reasonable. I got vitreous as well, not particularly sure why I knew that :P

	JAJDH:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 12:36 GMT	7 points
	I've had conjunctivitis so much in life, when I typed in "conjunctiva" I felt like the Slumdog Millionaire.

	i got 10, but not the sclera. never heard of it. what is it?

	A_is_for_Addict:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 13:47 GMT	1 point
	A lot more detailed than the heart one, I'm impressed. :D

	@gopaladins: The sclera is just the white of your eye :)

I get nauseous just looking at the diagram. I'm a little like Rachel on Friends - can't stand getting drops put in or people getting near my eye. I'm such a baby, lol.

	Ieuano:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 15:56 GMT	0 points
	why doesn't it accept eye-juice? and i also new vitreous humour instead of vitreous body, but the point is moot considering it accepts "vitreous"

	GeordieGuitarist:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 16:38 GMT	5 points
	Got the same top 6 that most people did.

	RobH:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 17:04 GMT	1 point
	Another top sixer. Although I did know a couple of the others after the answers popped up.

	RobH:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 17:57 GMT	21 points
	@davidr. You've got some nerve putting those puns here. Let's try to retina modicum of dignity and focus on the quiz. Eye don't appreciate your humour, vitreous or otherwise. In fact, I don't think I've heard anything Cornea. Furthermore, there's no need to co-rectus when our answers are not im-Macula-te. Iris my case.

	flinty:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 18:46 GMT	1 point
	i am studying dentistry so i knew the rectus muscles but not the pupil, hangs head in shame

	@RobH: Fovea love of God, stop!

	ewalke:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 20:07 GMT	2 points
	This is a bizarre illustration. The cross-section with the rectus muscles labeled should be completely separate from the main illustration, not superimposed on it.

	Bray:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT	2 points
	How the hell is 'Cornea' more remembered than 'pupil' and 'iris'? Those were the only two I got because I don't know eye anatomy :P

	ewalke:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 20:26 GMT	1 point
	Also, aqueous humor exists in both the anterior and posterior chambers; vitreous humor is contained in the posterior cavity (so that should be an acceptable answer); and optic disc can also be called the optic papilla.

	There was a point in time where I could have gotten all 18, but alas, I got only 4... cool quiz =p

	klogg:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT	8 points
	@RobH: Your puns were the best part of this quiz. Hats off to you.

	Statto2:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 21:34 GMT	2 points
	@Melissa - I am also squeemish about eyes & I'm a 6'2" guy! The number of people who've had conjunctiveness probably outnumbers those who got conjunctiva.

	chikka2:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 21:45 GMT	5 points
	Brilliant quiz, brilliant puns Davidr and RobH!

	Tank:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 00:08 GMT	3 points
	Interesting organ, the eye, I enjoy the anatomy quizes, and hope to see more.

	Torch:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 03:15 GMT	0 points
	Can't believe I missed conjunctiva! Also, tried superior chamber instead of posterior. Knew the muscles, but couldn't get the whole rectal thing down...guess I associate that with brown 'eyes' only. Oh well, 13 out of 18 ain't bad for a guy that's never taken bio!

	jereboam:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 12:07 GMT	1 point
	I got 10, which isn't bad considering it must be 50 years since I learned this stuff. Never heard of the "optic disc" - it used to be called "blind spot" (or possibly "red spot" or "black spot" or some other coloured spot).

	Cara:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 00:18 GMT	-1 points
	FOVEA CENTRALIS!? WHERE IS THAT

	Garble86:	Jul 5th, 2009 at 20:46 GMT	2 points
	Vet Student, who only got 14. Never seen the recti muscles drawn in on sketches... and didn't see the label for pupil. Blind Spot really really really should be a synonym for Optic Disc - really - but I did get it. Also missed macula though, thought it was the same as fovea centralis. Reading up the distinction seems a little arbitrary, but c'est la vie.

	Damn, I'm really good at anatomy and all.. in Swedish! So I came in here thought I'd master this quix and ended up with 4 right answers... English glosories please!

	Isn't 'Uvea' something?
