corneo-scleral junction in dogs

The edge of the cornea where it joins the sclera; the limbus is a common site for the occurrence of corneal epithelial neoplasm. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the corneo-scleral junction is

The edge of the cornea where it joins the sclera; the limbus is a common site for the occurrence of corneal epithelial neoplasm. The atlas records it as an anatomical structure at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the corneo-scleral junction 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 corneo-scleral junction connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of camera-type eye.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the corneo-scleral junction. 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.

Also called

Also recorded as cornea limbus, corneal limbus, corneal-scleral limbus, corneoscleral junction, limbus corneae and sclerocorneal junction, and 1 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
