The human eye is incredibly intricate with many different parts. In this section we will explain its basic structure and the purpose of its various features. The eyeball itself is roughly spherical and sits in the eye socket. The eye socket is also known as the orbit. The orbit is covered in fatty tissues which surround the eyeball. This fatty tissue acts as protection from the walls of the orbit. The eye also has many other protection mechanisms so that it will not be injured, which we will see shortly. Six muscles are attached to the outside of the eyeball.
