Anatomy and physiology of the human eye: effects of mucopolysaccharidoses disease on structure and function – a review

Abstract: The current paper provides an overview of current knowledge on the structure and function of the eye. It describes in depth the different parts of the eye that are involved in the ocular manifestations seen in the mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). The MPS are a group of rare inheritable lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in cells and tissues all over the body, leading to widespread tissue and organ dysfunction. GAGs also tend to accumulate in several tissues o… Show more

“…Although the real human retina consists of ten cell layers; namely the inner limiting membrane, the nerve fiber layer, the ganglion cell layer, the inner plexiform layer, the inner nuclear layer, the outer plexiform layer, the outer nuclear layer, the outer limiting membrane, the rods and cones layer and, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE); for simplification of the simulation, the retina was modeled as a four isotropic layer structure. 34 A cross section of the retina was considered 11 mm in length and 1514 μm in thickness.…”

“…Granica między twardówką a rogówką została określona jako rąbek rogówki [13]. Prawidło-wa rogówka ma naturalną krzywiznę, której promień wynosi około 7,4 mm [14]. Rogówka jest zbudowana z pięciu warstw: nabłonka przedniego, blaszki granicznej przedniej, inaczej błony Bowmana, istoty właściwej (zrębu), blaszki granicznej tylnej, zwanej też błoną Decemeta, oraz nabłonka tylnego, zwanego inaczej śródbłonkiem [13].…”

“…Powierzchnia warstwy nabłonkowej pokryta jest filmem łzowym, który chroni przed uszkodzeniami chemicznymi, toksycznymi i mechanicznymi, powstałymi na skutek ingerencji ciał obcych, oraz przed infekcją bakteryjną. Zadaniem filmu łzowego jest także zapewnienie gładkiej powierzchni warstwy epitelialnej [14]. Rąbek rogówki, znajdujący się u zbiegu rogówki i spojówki, jest wąskim pasmem komórek o szerokości około 1 mm [15,17].…”

“…The human eye is covered of layers and internal structures, each of which performs different functions [19] . Anterior segment of the eye involves of front one-third of eye that mainly includes pupil, cornea, iris, ciliary body, aqueous humor, and lens while the posterior segment consists of the back two-thirds of the eye that includes vitreous humor, retina, choroid, macula, and optic nerve (Figure 1) [20,21] . The cornea is the most anterior part of the eye, in front of the iris and pupil [22] .…”
