corneo-scleral junction

The edge of the cornea where it joins the sclera; the limbus is a common site for the occurrence of corneal epithelial neoplasm. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the corneo-scleral junction is

The edge of the cornea where it joins the sclera; the limbus is a common site for the occurrence of corneal epithelial neoplasm. The atlas records it as an anatomical structure at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the corneo-scleral junction is

It sits in the head, within the sensory system. 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 corneo-scleral junction connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of camera-type eye.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the corneo-scleral junction. 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 cornea limbus, corneal limbus, corneal-scleral limbus, corneoscleral junction, limbus corneae and sclerocorneal junction, and 1 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the corneo-scleral junction?

It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the corneo-scleral junction connect to?

Part of: camera-type eye.

Is the corneo-scleral junction 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.
