What is the term used to describe the eyeball?

Globe
Orb
Pupil
Lens

The correct answer is: Globe

The term that is used to describe the eyeball is "globe." This term refers specifically to the spherical structure that comprises the eye, containing the components responsible for vision. The globe includes the retina, cornea, and other important internal structures that facilitate the process of seeing. The other terms relate to different aspects of the eye. "Orb" is often used to refer to the bony socket that houses and protects the eyeball, rather than the eyeball itself. "Pupil" designates the opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye, while "lens" refers to the transparent structure behind the iris that helps in focusing light on the retina. Each of these components plays a crucial role in the overall function of vision, but they do not describe the eyeball as a whole.
