Choroid

The highly vascular membrane situated between the sclerotic coat and the retina of the eye.


The middle layer of tissue which forms the eyeball, between the sclera and the retina.


Membrane in the eye, between the retina and the sclera, having many blood vessels.


The layer of the eyeball between the retina and the sclera. It contains blood vessels and a pigment that absorbs excess light and so prevents blurring of vision.


The dark blue vascular layer of the eye between the sclera and retina, extending from the ora serrata to the optic nerve. It consists of blood vessels united by connective tissue containing pigmented cells and contains five layers: the suprachoroid, the layer of large vessels, the layer of medium-sized vessels, the layer of capillaries, and the lamina vitrea (a homogeneous membrane next to the pigmentary layer of the retina). It is a part of the uvea or vascular tunic of the eye.


The dark-colored membrane, filled with blood vessels, that lies just inside the sclera and makes up most of the middle layer of the eye.


The choroid, situated posterior to the ciliary body, is a component of the uveal tract. It serves as a foundation for the retina, providing nourishment to the retinal tissue and facilitating the absorption of dispersed light.


The choroid is a tissue layer located behind the retina in the eye. It houses a complex network of blood vessels that play a crucial role in providing nourishment and oxygen to both the retina and the surrounding tissues within the eye.


The middle layer among the three that make up the structure of the eyeball.
