44. The interior portion of the eyeball that may be seen on ophthalmoscopy.






45. This is the pathway between the ye and the brain along which the signals produced by the retina travel to the brain.






46. Its purpose: Improve the portability and continuity of health insurance overage - improve access to long-term care services and coverage - to simplify administrative care.
