  1. Sep 7, 2012 · Composition of Aqueous Humor : Relative to plasma, aqueous humor has a: Slight hypertonicity and acidity (pH 7.2 in AC) Marked excess of ascorbate (15 times greater than arterial plasma) Marked deficit of protein (0.02% in aqueous vs. 7% in plasma) Sight excess of chloride and lactic acid. Slight deficit of sodium, bicarbonate, carbon dioxide ...

  2. Mar 2, 2021 · Aqueous humor. Aqueous humor is defined as the clear, watery fluid inside the front of the eye. It works by bringing nutrients to the eye and by maintaining the eye’s normal pressure and shape. The eye is constantly producing new aqueous, while old fluid drains from the eye through the trabecular meshwork. Having equal amounts of aqueous ...

  4. Sep 3, 2010 · FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY. The main ocular structures related to aqueous humor dynamics are the ciliary body (the site of aqueous humor production), and the trabecular meshwork and the uveoscleral pathway (the principal locations of aqueous humor outflow). The ciliary body attaches to the scleral spur and has the shape of a right triangle.

  6. The aqueous humor fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eyeball. It is small in quantity, has an alkaline reaction, and consists mainly of water, less than one-fiftieth of its weight being solid matter, chiefly chloride of sodium.Aqueous humor is secreted into the posterior chamber by the ciliary body, specifically the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body (pars plicata).

  8. Aqueous humor is formed via active secretion by the epithelial cells of the ciliary processes. The epithelial cells regulate its composition. The circulation of the aqueous humor allows nutrients and wastes to be transported and also creates a cushioning effect. The pressure created by the aqueous humor helps maintain the shape of the eye.
