hyaloid vessel in dogs

A blood vessel that is associated with the lens. In mammals, this is transient and normally nourishes the retina, immature lens and primary vitreous of the developing eye. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the hyaloid vessel is

A blood vessel that is associated with the lens. In mammals, this is transient and normally nourishes the retina, immature lens and primary vitreous of the developing eye. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the hyaloid vessel is

It sits in the head, within the cardiovascular and sensory systems. 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 hyaloid vessel connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of vasculature of eye.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the hyaloid vessel. 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 hyaloid blood vessels, hyaloid vessels, hyaloid capillary system, hyaloid vascular system and hyaloid vasculature. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
