Choose the correct pair from the following:
(a) Lens – Accomplishes accommodation by changing the curvature of its plane
(b) Retina – Holds the lens with the help of the suspensory ligament
(c) Cornea – Secretes aqueous humor
(d) Choroid – Helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball
(a) Lens – Accomplishes accommodation by changing the curvature of its plane
Explanation:
The eye lens is a transparent, elastic, and biconvex structure held by suspensory ligaments. It changes its curvature to focus light on the retina, allowing clear vision of near and distant objects, a process called accommodation. The retina is the light-sensitive layer with rod and cone cells for vision, not related to holding the lens. The cornea admits light and acts as a refractive medium but does not secrete aqueous humor; the aqueous humor is secreted by the ciliary body. The choroid, a vascular coat, prevents internal reflection of light and nourishes the eye but does not maintain eye shape.

What is the relation between the lens and the accommodation of the eye?
Blind spot is the part of the eye devoid of light sensitive cells formed at the junction of optic nerve and retina.
Accommodation is the ability of the retina of the eye to adjust the focal length as needed.
Choose the odd word and write it: Hypothalamus, Pons, Medulla Oblongata, Cerebellum
While looking at a distant object the focal length of the ocular lens increases if its curvature decreases.
