camera-type eye

An organ of sight that includes the camera-type eyeball and supporting structures such as the lacrimal apparatus, the conjunctiva, the eyelid. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the camera-type eye is

An organ of sight that includes the camera-type eyeball and supporting structures such as the lacrimal apparatus, the conjunctiva, the eyelid. The atlas records it as a sense organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the camera-type eye is

It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the camera-type eye connects to

The atlas records 49 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of material anatomical entity and orbital region.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the camera-type eye. 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.

Questions

Where is the camera-type eye?

It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the camera-type eye connect to?

Part of: material anatomical entity and orbital region.

Is the camera-type eye the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
