the layer of the eye behind the retina that contains major blood vessels

a highly vascular membrane in the eye between the retina and the sclera

the thin, blood-rich membrane that lies between the retina and the sclera; responsible for supplying blood to the retina.

Gr. choroeid6s, a delicate membrane. Choroid plexus within the brain ventricles was first described by Herophilus (~300 BC).

The very vascular middle layer of the eye between the retina and the sclera that nourishes the outer portions of the retina. The choroid contains a pigment that absorbs excess light to prevent blurring of vision. The choroid has one of the highest blood flows in the body.

The choroid is the posterior portion of the uveal tract and lies between the retina and the sclera. It is darkly pigmented. When the overlying sclera is thinned it is the colour of the underlying choroid which gives rise to the term 'blue sclera'.

the thin layer of major blood vessels that lies between the retina and sclera. The choroid supplies the retina with vital oxygen and nutrients. It thickens at the front of the eye to form the ciliary body.

The highly vascular middle coat of the eye globe lying between the sclera and retina. Its principal function is blood supply to sustain the retina.

nutrient layer lying beneath the retina

the middle layer of the eye containing blood vessels that furnish nourishment to the other parts of the eye, especially the retina

The vascular system beneath the retina layer that supplies nourishment to the outer retinal layers.

(KO-royd) Part of the vascular tunic of the eyeball. It lines most of the internal surface of the sclera, thereby forming the middle layer of the wall of the eye.

The tissue layer that sits just below the retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). The choroid is rich in blood vessels and connective tissue, and is a major supplier of oxygen and nutrients to the RPE and photoreceptor cells.

Vascular (major blood vessel) layer of the eye lying between the retina and the sclera. Provides nourishment to outer layers of the retina.

In the eye, a thin vascular layer between the sclera and the retina. The choroid supplies blood to the retina and conducts arteries and nerves to other structures in the eye. See the entire definition of Choroid

the thin, blood-rich membrane that covers the white of the eyeball; responsible fore supplying blood to the retina.

The membrane located between the retina and the sclera. The choroids carry the blood supply that nourishes the eye's internal structures.

KO-royd] Layer of normal blood vessels [vascular-layer] of the wall of the eye. The choroid is located between the retina and the sclera.

A layer of the eye found between the retina and the sclera. It contains major blood vessels and provides nourishment to the outer layers of the retina.

The layer in the eye filled with blood vessels that nourishes the retina. Go to Top

Layers of blood vessels located between the sclera (white of the eye) and the retina; they provide nourishment to the back area of the eye.

The layer of retina filled with blood vessels that nourish the retina

The layer filled with blood vessels that nourishes the retina; part of the uvea.

Blood vessel in the eye that nourishes parts of the retina.

The middle layer of the eye, located between the sclera and the retina. It contains several layers of blood vessels that provide crucial support to other parts of the eye. The choroid, along with the iris and ciliary body, are collectively known as the uvea. Inflammation in this area is known as uveitis.

is a layer on the inside of the eye, lining the sclera. It is highly pigmented with melanin and vasculated. Its main functions are to absorb any stray light inside the eye and to provide nutrients to, and remove waste products from, the retinal receptors. It also provides a route for metabolites to the front parts of the eye.

The vascular membrane between the sclera and the retina of the eye, that extends from the ora serrata to the optic nerve. image

Layer of blood vessels and pigments (usually brown or blue) that lies beneath the sclera (the white of the eye). Often mistakenly called the iris.

pigmented vascular layer between the retina and sclera.

The is the middle layer in the eyes coat. It is found between the retina (inside) and the Sclera (outside). Its main function is to reduce reflection of stray light. The iris and the ciliary body is part of the choroid layer.

Membrane lying between the retina and the outer membrane of the eye. Its function is to supply blood to the eye. ( choroide, n..f)

The dark membrane that forms the middle coat of the eye between the retina and the sclera (the white, outermost membrane of the eye).

The vascular layer behind the retina, in front of the sclera

a collection of blood vessels in the rear of the eye which feed the retinal sensory layer with nutrients and oxygen

the middle layer of the eyeball which contains veins and arteries that furnish nourishment to the eye, especially the retina.

a thin, highly vascular membrane covering the posterior 5/6 of the eye between the retina and sclera. chorioretinitis - (chorioretinopathy) - an inflammation condition of the choroid and retina of the eye, usually as a result of a parasitic or bacterial infection. It is characterized by blurred vision and distorted images.

(KO-royd) Layer of major blood vessels (vascular layer) of the eye, which lies between the retina and sclera and furnishes nourishment to the outer layers of the retina.

Pigmented layer underneath the neural retina

Main part of the vascular coat of the eye.

The choroid, also known as the choroidea or choroid coat, is the vascular layer of the eye lying between the retina and the sclera. The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of the retina http://www.eyeglossary.net/#C.
