Best Answer

Cows have an additional structure in the choroid layer of the eye called the tapedum, which is not present in humans. The tapedum reflects light within the eye, allowing the cow to have better vision in dim lighting (ie, dusk, a full moon night and dawn) than a human. This also causes a cow's eye to 'flash' or reflect light when bright light is flickered across the dilated pupil.

The cow has a membrane covering the retina called the tapedum nigrum, which reflects light within the posterior chamber and explains why cows can see much better in dim light than humans can.

Describe the role of the choroid plexus in the blood-brain barrier?

The choroid plexus is in contact with the cells lining the ventricles, which helps in the formation of cerebrospinal fluid. The capillaries of the choroid plexus differ significantly from those found elsewhere in the body. As a result, drugs carried in the bloodstream may not effectively penetrate brain tissue. This phenomenon is referred to as the blood-brain barrier. In short, the choroid plexus helps create the barrier, as it is through it's capillaries that the barrier is formed.
