A structure that drains the aqueous humor is the?
it is the canal of Schlemm or SChlemm canal.
Where is the canal of Schlemm located?
a circular canal lying in the substance of the sclerocorneal junction of the eye and draining the aqueous humor from the anterior chamber into the veins draining the eyeball-called also Schlemm's canal, sinus venosus sclerae
What drains the aqueous humor from eye?
Ciliary body ---posterior chamber-pupil---anterior chamber---anterior chamber angle---trabecular meshwork---canal of Schlemm-collector channels
The aqueous humor of the eye is reabsorbed into venous blood through the?
scleral venous sinus (canal of Schlemm)
Is aqueous fluid is drained through the canal?
The name of this canal in canal of Schlemm. This canal drains the fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye ball. It has got very beautiful three dimensional position in the eye ball.
What does the canal of Schlemm do?
The canal of Schlemm, or Schlemm's canal, is a channel in the eye that collects aqueous humor from the eye and moves it into the bloodstream. If the canal is blocked, pressure in the eye can increase, resulting in glaucoma. The supplement for high blood sugar: "Vanadium," will block the canal of Schlemm and prevent the eye from draining its lymph. It is this blockage that will increase eye pressure and cause severe pain in the eye. Foods that also contain Vanadium should be avoided, such as: Lettuce, Millet, raw carrots (also bad for PSA prostate), cabbage, green beans, oats (also depletes zinc because of its insoluble fiber, olive oil, brown rice, garlic, bread (rye and whole wheat), potatoes, peanuts, cantaloupe, molasses, apricot, raisins, strawberries, vinegar. Vanadium also depletes chromium which the eye needs to control eye pressure. Sugars, bread, pasta, rice will use up your chromium stores needed for the eyes.
What happens if the canal of schlemm is blocked such as by tumor or clot?
The canal of schlemm normally transfers 2-3 micro liters of aqueous humor per minute. If the schlemm is blocked by clot or tumor, it results in ocular hypertension.
How will the obstruction of the canal of Schlemm will result?
It results in reduced intraocular pressure
The name of the venous sinuses that drains the aqueous humor is?
Canal of Schlemm
What structure allows aqueous to dran from the anterior chamber?
The Canal of Schlemm
Is Aqueous fluid is drained through the canal of Schlemn?
yes. it is constantly filtered and drained through the trabecular meshwork and the canal of schlemm.
What is the parasympathetic ganglion that serves the eye?
the effects are ciliary muscle contraction leading to a constricted pupil and opening of the canal of schlemm to all aqueous humour drainage. Also there is an increase in tear formation. The PNS has a role in accomodation to light.
