Which tissue surrounding the eyeball must be removed before dissecting the eye?
A
Skeletal muscle
B
Adipose tissue
C
Cartilage
D
Epithelial tissue
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the anatomy of the eye and the surrounding structures. The eyeball is encased in a protective layer of tissues that include adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and connective tissues.
Step 2: Recognize the role of adipose tissue in the eye. Adipose tissue surrounds the eyeball and acts as a cushion to protect it from external forces. It is located between the eyeball and the bony orbit.
Step 3: Identify the other tissue types mentioned in the problem. Skeletal muscle is responsible for eye movement, cartilage is not typically found surrounding the eyeball, and epithelial tissue lines surfaces but does not encase the eyeball.
Step 4: Determine which tissue must be removed before dissecting the eye. Since adipose tissue surrounds the eyeball and acts as a cushion, it must be carefully removed to access the eyeball for dissection.
Step 5: Conclude that adipose tissue is the correct answer based on its anatomical location and function. Skeletal muscle, cartilage, and epithelial tissue do not need to be removed in this context.
