Capillary lamina of choroid
Part of the eye / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The capillary lamina of choroid or choriocapillaris[1] is a part of the choroid of the eye.[2] It is a layer of capillaries immediately adjacent to Bruch's membrane of the choroid.[1] The choriocapillaris consists of a dense network of freely anastomosing highly permeable fenestrated large-calibre capillaries. It nourishes the outer avascular layers of the retina.[2]
