CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Definition:On the external surface of the optic choroid is a thin membrane, the suprachoroid lamina, composed of delicate non-vascular lamellae-each lamella consisting of a network of fine elastic fibers among which are branched pigment cells.
Comment:[structure-note] "The spaces between the lamellae are lined by endothelium, and open freely into the perichoroidal lymph space, which, in its turn, communicates with the periscleral space by the perforations in the sclera through which the vessels and nerves are transmitted."
Synonyms:related_synonym: fusca sclerae;   lamina fusca of sclera;   lamina fusca sclerae;   lamina fusca scletae;   lamina suprachorioidea;   lamina suprachoroidea;   suprachoroid lamina of sclera
