What is the large white part of the eye known as?

  1. Optic nerve

  2. Bulbar Conjunctiva

  3. Iris

  4. Cornea

The correct answer is: Bulbar Conjunctiva

The large white part of the eye is known as the sclera, which is the layer beneath the bulbar conjunctiva. The bulbar conjunctiva is a transparent membrane that coats the sclera and does not encompass the entire white part of the eye but instead covers the anterior surface of the eyeball. This layer helps protect and lubricate the eye, as it is connected to the tear drainage system. The other terms listed refer to different structures. The optic nerve transmits visual information from the retina to the brain, while the iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil and, consequently, the amount of light that enters the eye. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye, contributing to light refraction and focusing vision. Understanding these anatomical distinctions helps in grasping the overall structure and function of the eye.
