1. This is not the homework forum.
2. You did not show any work.
Last time (t=12571, Jan. 13) you posted 5 questions verbatim from a textbook, without showing any of your own work. Stupidly, someone actually answered them. These forums are for learning/discussing. You learn nothing if someone just gives you answers.

krab, I completely agree.

To dragun (and everyone else seeking help): Please read Tom's sticky at the top of the Homework Help forums (where I will move this thread).
 
Dragun, if you want homework help you have to show your work. Show us how you started and where you got stuck.
 
ok here's what i think

this is more of a s/a question so this is what i think ...

corena=lens of camera
retina=film of camera
iris=diaphramg of camera
lens= lens?
i can't think of the eyeball one not sure if the lens one is right either
 
No, the cornea is NOT the lens.

According to "StLukeseye.com", "The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped window covering the front of the eye."
