hyaloid artery in dogs
An artery that is part of the optic stalk of the eye and extends from the optic disc through the vitreous humor to the lens. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the hyaloid artery is
An artery that is part of the optic stalk of the eye and extends from the optic disc through the vitreous humor to the lens. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the hyaloid artery is
It sits in the head, within the cardiovascular, nervous and sensory systems. 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 hyaloid artery connects to
The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of hyaloid vessel and optic stalk.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the hyaloid artery. 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 arteria hyaloidea, Cloquet's canal, Cloquets canal, central artery of retina and hyaloid arteries. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the hyaloid artery 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.
