The American encyclopedia and dictionary of ophthalmology Edited by Casey AWood, assisted by a large staff of collaborators . ck in the region of thefovea centralis retinae. The inner layer, or lamina hasilis, separates the lamina chorio-capillaris from the retina. It consists of an inner and outer layer;the former homogeneous, the latter exhibiting very delicate elasticfibrillfe. It is firmly grown to the stroma of the capillary layer, andis highly refractile. The principal arteries of the choroidal coat are the recurrent 390 ANATOMY (GROSS) OF THE HUMAN EYE branches of the long posterior ciliary and anterior ciliary arteries,which supply the anterior part of the membrane, and about 20branches (short posterior ciliary) of the ophthalmic artery that pene-trate the sclera near the optic entrance, and constitute the majorpart of the chorio-capillaris. The retina, or sensitive plate of the human visual apparatus,lies between the choroid and the vitreous. Its attachment to thechoroid in general is very delicate; at the entrance of the optic nerveand at the ora serrata, however, the union is quite firm. It may be.

Thislatter section is made up almost entirely of the pigment layer of theretina (stratum pigmcnti). ANATOMY (GROSS) OF
