aqueous humor forms during capillary filtration in the ______?

scleral venous sinus

ciliary processes (part of the cillary body).

lens

iris

Explanation:

To determine where aqueous humor forms via capillary filtration, we analyze each option:

• Scleral venous sinus: Drains aqueous humor, not where it forms.
• Ciliary processes (part of ciliary body): Aqueous humor is formed here through capillary filtration.
• Lens: Focuses light, not involved in aqueous humor formation.
• Iris: Controls pupil size, not involved in aqueous humor formation.

Answer:

B. ciliary processes (part of the ciliary body).
