The posterior pigmented layer of the iris; -- sometimes applied to the whole iris together with the choroid coat.
uva = grape; the middle vascular coat of the eye (when peeled out of the eye, the uvea resembles the empty shell of a peeled concord grape), includes choroidea, ciliary body and iris.
a structure consisting of the colored area of the eye and the middle layer of the eye that contains blood vessels
Cellular layer of the eye that contains blood vessels, the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.
Latin uva = grape. The pigmented vascular layer of the eyeball (iris, ciliary body and choroid).
The choroid, ciliary body, and iris (continuous vascular layer of the eye).
the part of the eye that contains the iris and ciliary body and choroid
The uveal tract is composed of the iris, ciliary body and the choroid. It is the middle vascular layer of the eye and is protected by the cornea and sclera.
the blood vessel-rich pigmented layers of the eye. It includes the iris, ciliary body and choroid. It contains the majority of the eye’s blood vessels.
The middle layer of the eye which consists of the choroid and extends to the ciliary body and iris.
MS = The pigmented vascular coat of the eyeball, consisting of the CHOROID; CILIARY BODY; and IRIS, which are continuous with each other. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) AN = anterior uvea = IRIS + CILIARY BODY, posterior uvea = CHOROID; uveal neopl = UVEAL NEOPLASMS; anterior uveal neopl = UVEAL NEOPLASMS (IM) + CILIARY BODY (IM) + IRIS NEOPLASMS (IM), posterior uveal neopl = CHOROID NEOPLASMS; inflammation = UVEITIS & many specifics UI = D014602
pigmented layers of the eye (iris, ciliary body, choroid) that contain most of the intraocular blood vessels.
The middle layer of the eyeball, consisting of the choroid in the back of the eye and the ciliary body and iris in the front of the eye.
Middle layer of the eye, below the limbus, and consisting of the iris, ciliary body and choroid.
The colored, middle layers of the eye. It includes the iris (colored part of the eye), choroid (a thin membrane containing many blood vessels) and ciliary body (the part of the eye that joins these together). The uvea is very important because its veins and arteries transport blood to the parts of the eye that are critical for vision. Inflammation in this part of the eye is known as uveitis.
The iris, ciliary body, and choroid. A solid sheet of vasculature, nerves, connective tissue, muscle, and pigment.
Pigmented layers of the eye that contain the majority of blood vessels.
Entire vascular layer of the eyeball, consisting of the ciliary body, and choriod.
The uvea (Lat. uva, grape), also called the uveal layer, uveal coat, uveal tract, or vascular tunic, is the pigmented middle of the three concentric layers that make up an eye. The name is possibly a reference to its almost black colour, wrinkled appearance and grape-like size and shape when stripped intact from a cadaveric eye. Its use as a technical term in anatomy and ophthalmology is relatively modern.
