Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The orbit contains the eyeball; the cavity is lined with fatty tissue that cushions the eyeball and has several openings through which blood vessels and nerves pass.
There are six short muscles that provide support and rotary movement of the eyeball.
The eyelids protect the eyeballs from intense light, foreign particles, and impact.
The conjunctiva acts as a protective covering for the exposed surface of the eyeball.
The lacrimal apparatus produces, stores, and removes tears that cleanse and lubricate the eye.
