A transparent, semigelatinous substance that fills the cavity behind the crystalline lens of the eye and in front of the retina. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the vitreous humor 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 vitreous humor connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of vitreous body.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the vitreous humor. 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.
