The tapetum lucidum (reflective material) reflects light back into the retina. This allows the animal to see at night. (Although this allows for better night vision than that of humans, it distorts the clarity because the light is reflected so much.)
The tapetum lucidum is also responsible for the "glowing" eyes of animals, such as cats, when a small amount of light reflects off the tapetum lucidum in an otherwise dark room.

What is three coats of the eye?
The three coats include: 1) The outer fibrous coat; formed by the cornea and the sclera. 2) Middle vascular coat; which consists of the choroid, ciliary body and the iris. 3) The internal nervous coat; which is the retina.
Cerebrospinal fluid is formed by capillary knots?
Choroid Plexuses
What is the function of the sclerotic coat?
The sclerotic coat is the name for the outermost layer of the eyeball. It functions primarily as protection for the eyeball.
What is the damage to the choroid plexus would interfere with?
Damage to choroid plexus would interfere with the production of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid).
Where is cerebrospinal fluid made?
Well, the theory right now is the majority of CFS is produced within the ventricles the choroid plexus produces by a combined process of diffusion, pinocytosis and active transfer of arterial blood and the rest is produced by modified ependymal cells of the choroid plexus.
What modification of the choroid that is not present in humans is found in cow eye and what is its function?
The pigmented choroid coat is iridescent because of the tapetum lucidium and its function is that it reflects the light in the eyes and is found only in animal eyes because of low light intensity
What is the Front part of the coat is the ciliary muscle and iris?
Choroid
What is the function of choroidea?
The choroid, also known as the choroidea or choroid coat, is the vascular layer of the eye, containing connective tissue, and lying between the retina and the sclera. The human choroid is thickest at the far extreme rear of the eye (at 0.2 mm), while in the outlying areas it narrows to 0.1 mm.[1] The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of the retina. Along with the ciliary body and iris, the choroid forms theuveal tract.
What is the posterior five-sixths of middle or vascular tunic?
choroid coat.
What is the function choroid?
Absorbs light, and protects your eye.
Is the choroid's function?
Absorbs light, and protects your eye.
What is a choroid and what is its function?
Absorbs light, and protects your eye.
What is Choroid plexus of third ventricle and its function?
The Choroid Plexus has a main function of filtering, removing waste, and foreign substances. It is also responsible for removing excess neurotransmitters.
What does the choriod do?
The choroid, also known as thechoroideaorchoroid coat, is thevascular layer of the eye, containingconnective tissue, and lying between theretina and thesclera.The choroid providesoxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of theretina. Along with theciliary body andiris, the choroid forms theuveal tract.
What is the choroid coat layer of the eye?
Melanin, and it stops light from reflecting all around the insides of your eye
