Aqueous Humor (C0003662)

Definition (FMA) Body substance in liquid state contained in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eyeball.
Definition (NCI) The watery fluid which is present in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. (NCI)
Definition (NCI) The watery fluid which is present in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye.
Definition (UWDA) Body substance in liquid state contained in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eyeball.
Definition (MSH) The clear, watery fluid which fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. It has a refractive index lower than the crystalline lens, which it surrounds, and is involved in the metabolism of the cornea and the crystalline lens.

Iris (Eye) (C0022077)

Definition (NCI) The colored disc of the eye composed of connective tissue, epithelium, and endothelium. It separates the anterior chamber from the posterior chamber.
Definition (NCI) The colored tissue at the front of the eye that contains the pupil in the center. The iris helps control the size of the pupil to let more or less light into the eye.
Definition (MSH) The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
Definition (CSP) most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior; consists of two layers, the stroma and the pigmented epithelium; color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.

Limbus Corneae (C0085376)

Definition (MSH) An annular transitional zone, approximately 1 mm wide, between the cornea and the bulbar conjunctiva and sclera. It is highly vascular and is involved in the metabolism of the cornea. It is ophthalmologically significant in that it appears on the outer surface of the eyeball as a slight furrow, marking the line between the clear cornea and the sclera.
