iris stroma in dogs

The delicate vascular connective tissue that lies between the anterior surface of the iris and the pars iridica retinae. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the iris stroma is

The delicate vascular connective tissue that lies between the anterior surface of the iris and the pars iridica retinae. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the iris stroma 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 iris stroma connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of iris and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the iris stroma. 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 iridial stroma and stroma of iris. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the iris stroma 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.
