Any of the parts of the eye that lie in front of, or ventral to, the lens (inclusive). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the anterior segment of eyeball is

Any of the parts of the eye that lie in front of, or ventral to, the lens (inclusive). The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the anterior segment of eyeball is

It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What the anterior segment of eyeball connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of eyeball of camera-type eye and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the anterior segment of eyeball. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
