The sclera is the part of the eye commonly known as the âwhite.â It forms the supporting wall of the eyeball, and is continuous with the clear cornea. The sclera is covered by the conjunctiva, a clear mucus membrane that helps lubricate the eye. It is thickest in the area surrounding the optic nerve.
The sclera, also known as the white of the eye, is the opaque (usually white, though certain animals, such as horses and lizards, can have black sclera), fibrous, protective, â¦ outer layer of the eye containing collagen and elastic fiber.It is derived from the neural crest.In children, it is thinner and shows some of the underlying pigment, appearing slightly blue. In the elderly, however, fatty deposits on the sclera can make it appear slightly yellow. The sclera forms the posterior five sixths of the connective tissue coat of the globe.he small white bit next to the yolk of an egg is call chalaza. This is a strand of heavy protein that helps to keep the yolk centered in the albumen (white/clear part of an e â¦ gg).
