Lesson 1

A pale inner layer

Behind the colored part of your eye (the iris) is a ring of tissue called the ciliary body. Its surface has many small folds.

The folds are covered by two layers of cells. The inner layer is pale, with no dark color. That's these cells. The layer under them is dark brown.

Tiny threads stretch from here to the lens and help hold it in place.
