epithelium of lens in dogs
A layer of epithelial cells that is part of the eye. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the epithelium of lens is
A layer of epithelial cells that is part of the eye. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.
Where the epithelium of lens is
It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What the epithelium of lens connects to
The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of lens of camera-type eye.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the epithelium of lens. 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 epithelial tissue of eye lens, epithelial tissue of lens, epithelium lentis, epithelium of eye lens, eye lens epithelial tissue and eye lens epithelium, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the epithelium of lens?
It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What does the epithelium of lens connect to?
Part of: lens of camera-type eye.
Is the epithelium of lens the same in other species?
This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
