vitreous body

In time, the liquefied vitreous body loses support and its framework contracts.

It is often referred to as the vitreous body or simply "the vitreous".

The vitreous body is distorted, then "snaps back," pulling part of the retina loose.

Within these coats are the aqueous humor, the vitreous body, and the flexible lens.

The procedure has a relatively high rate of complications due to the large incision required and pressure placed on the vitreous body.

Beneath this is a transparent vitreous body, and then the retina and, if present, the tapetum.

The pecten is believed to both nourish the retina and control the pH of the vitreous body.

Cloquet's space: A space between the ciliary zonule and the vitreous body.

There is no aqueous humour in these fish, and the vitreous body simply presses the lens against the surface of the cornea.

The hyaloid fossa is a depression on the anterior surface of the vitreous body in which lies the lens.

They result when the viscous matter in the middle of the eyeball - the vitreous body - shrinks and pulls away from the retina.

The globe was sectioned at the ora serrata, and the lens and vitreous body were removed.

It is a non-sensory, pigmented structure that projects into the vitreous body from the point where the optic nerve enters the eyeball.

Hyalocytes, also known as vitreous cells, are cells of the vitreous body of the eye.

Hyalocytes occur in the peripheral part of the vitreous body, and may produce hyaluronic acid and collagen.

Posterior to the lens is the vitreous body, which, along with the aqueous humor on the anterior surface, bathes the lens.

The inner layer is transparent and covers the vitreous body, and is continuous from the neural tissue of the retina.

Dr. Shafer's specialty was the eye's vitreous body, the clear jellylike substance that fills the eyeball between the retina and the lens.

The inner limiting membrane is the boundary between the retina and the vitreous body, formed by astrocytes and the end feet of Müller cells.

Flashes of light might occur when tugging on the retina caused by the shrinking vitreous body stimulates the retina to produce the flashing sensation.

Even so, it is of increasing interest because the interaction between the vitreous body and the retina might play a decisive role in the development of major pathologic vitreoretinal conditions.

The portion behind the lens is filled with a clear, jellylike substance, the vitreous humor ("glassy fluid" L), or, since it is not really a fluid, the vitreous body.

For all its gelatinous nature, the vitreous body is ordi- 284 THE HUMAN BHAIN narily as clear as water.

The vitreous body is a clear jelly that is much larger than the aqueous humor, present behind lens and the rest, and is bordered by the sclera, zonule, and lens.

Cherenkov radiation could also be responsible for the "blue flash" experienced in an excursion due to the intersection of high-intensity gamma radiation with the vitreous body within the eyeballs of those in the presence of the criticality.
