  2. Vitreous body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_body

    The vitreous fluid is not present at birth (the eye being filled with only the gel-like vitreous body), but found after age 4-5, and increases in size thereafter. [1] Produced by cells in the non-pigmented portion of the ciliary body, the vitreous humour is derived from embryonic mesenchyme cells, which degenerate after birth. [1]

    Vitreous membrane, a layer of collagen separating the vitreous body from the rest of the eye; See also. Vitrification, the transformation of a substance into a glass

  4. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The spaces of the eye are filled with the aqueous humour anteriorly, between the cornea and lens, and the vitreous body, a jelly-like substance, behind the lens, filling the entire posterior cavity. The aqueous humour is a clear watery fluid that is contained in two areas: the anterior chamber between the cornea and the iris, and the posterior ...

  5. Vitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrification

    Vitrification is the progressive partial fusion of a clay, or of a body, as a result of a firing process. As vitrification proceeds, the proportion of glassy bond increases and the apparent porosity of the fired product becomes progressively lower. [3] [10] Vitreous bodies have open porosity, and may be either opaque or translucent. In this ...

  6. Hyalocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyalocyte

    Hyalocytes, also known as vitreous cells, are cells of the vitreous body, which is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eye. Hyalocytes occur in the peripheral part of the vitreous body, and may produce hyaluronic acid and collagen fibrils , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Hyalocytes are star-shaped (stellate) cells with oval ...

  7. Ciliary body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliary_body

    The ciliary body is a ring-shaped thickening of tissue inside the eye that divides the posterior chamber from the vitreous body. It contains the ciliary muscle, vessels, and fibrous connective tissue. Folds on the inner ciliary epithelium are called ciliary processes, and these secrete aqueous humor into the posterior chamber. The aqueous humor ...

  9. Posterior segment of eyeball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_segment_of_eyeball

    The posterior segment or posterior cavity [1] is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all of the optical structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. [2]
