iris stroma

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 human body.

Where the iris stroma 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 iris stroma connects to

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

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.

Questions

Where is the iris stroma?

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 iris stroma connect to?

Part of: iris.

Is the iris stroma 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.
