Question

The cornea has five distinct layers. In order from anterior (front) to posterior(back) they are:

a. Epithelium, Descemets membrane, Stroma, Bowmans membrane, Endothelium.
b. Endothelium, Stroma, Bowmans membrane, Descemets membrane, Epithelium.
c. Epithelium, Bowmans membrane, Stroma, Descemets membrane, Endothelium.
d. Endothelium, Bowmans membrane, Stroma, Descemets membrane, Epithelium.

Answer 1

The correct order of the cornea's layers from the front to the back is: Epithelium, Bowman's membrane, Stroma, Descemet's membrane, and Endothelium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the five distinct layers of the cornea from anterior (front) to posterior (back) is as follows: Epithelium, Bowman's membrane, Stroma, Descemet's membrane, and Endothelium. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option c. Epithelium, Bowman's membrane, Stroma, Descemet's membrane, Endothelium.

The cornea is the clear, protective outer layer of the eye that allows light to enter the eye. It is essential for vision as it helps to focus incoming light onto the retina.
