- Ciliary body
- Irus
What does nervous coat include?
Retina
Fibrous coat
-> Identify
1)epithelium (corneal epithelium).
2)bowman’s membrane.
3)stroma (substantia propria).
4)descemets membrane.
5)endothelium of anterior chamber.
6)nuclei of fibroblast.
Describe the epithelium of cornea (fibrous coat)
stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium (5-6 layers without C.T papillae).
What is bowman’s membrane (2) (fibrous coat)?
thin homogenous acidophilic basement membrane , contains collagen fibers but no cells.
FIBROUS COAT
-> stroma (or substantia propria) (3) of the cornea contains several layers of ___
highly regular collagen fibers with fibrocyte
What is descemets’s membrane(4) of cornea? (fibrous coat)
thin homogenous acidophilic basement membrane , contains collagen fibers but no cells.
Describe the endothelium of anterior chamber of cornea (fibrous coat)
simple squamous epithelium
the endothelium of anterior chamber of cornea (fibrous coat) is simple squamous epithelium
-> What are the functions?
it serves the nutrition of the cornea from the anterior chamber and with its secretory activity maintains the descemets membrane.
Is the cornea a vascular tissue? (fibrous coat)
the cornea is Avascular tissue but has very rich sensory innervation (long cilliary nerve from v/1).
Describe the Conjunctiva of cornea (fibrous coat)
the epithelium of the cornea is continue with that of the conjunctiva (stratified squamous non keratinized epithelium) , but several C.T papillae are visible here. under the epithelium the lamina propria (loose C.T) is seen.
What is Sclera made up of? (fibrous coat)
the sclera is made up of dense C.T (collagen fibers and fibrocytes).
What does The cornel-scleral junction contain contain? (fibrous coat)
the canal of schlemm or sinus venous sclera
What is the cornel-scleral junction lined by ____
endothelium (draining the aqueous humor from the anterior chamber)
Identify

Sclera
-> Identify
A) limbus(cornea sclera junction).
B) conjunctival epithelium.
C) ciliary body.
D) sclera.
1) conjunctiva.
2) endothelial lining in the canal of schlemm.
3) corneal epithelium.
*-canal of schlemm.

What is choroid?
highly vascular layer on the inner surface of the sclera with the 4 layers.
What are the 5 layers of choroid?
1)
suprachoroidal lamina (lamina fusca sclerae)
2) Perichoroidal space
3) vascular lamina
4) choriocapillary layer
5) bruch’s membrane (lamina basalis)
CHOROID
-> Characteristics of 1)
suprachoroidal lamina (lamina fusca sclerae)?
highly pigmented C.T cells with vessels and nerves.
CHOROID
-> Characteristics of 3) vascular lamina?
arterioles and venules occupy this layer
CHOROID
-> Characteristics of 4) choriocapillary layer?
contains a very rich network of fenestrated capillaries (for the nutrition of the outer part of the retina) choriocapillary layer from the retina.
CHOROID
-> Characteristics of 5) bruch’s membrane (lamina basalis)?
thin, acidophilic layer, separating the choriocapillary layer from the retina
What is bruch’s membrane (lamina basalis) composed of? (a layer of choroid)
It is composed of elastic and collagen fibers and basal laminae.
Describe the blood-retinal barrier
This 3-4 micrometer thick membrane of 5 layers : elastic fibers in the middle covered by collagen fibers on both sides,
outside the basal lamina of the capillaries of the choriocapillary layer, inside the basal lamina of the retinal pigment epithelium are found. this membrane from the blood-retinal barrier.
