The scleral spur and scleral roll.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scleral spur and scleral roll together form a fibrous hoop which may be detached from adjacent structures as a unit. Tensile tests of the spur-roll resemble reported data on sclera. It is proposed that the circular structure of the spur-roll prevents action of the meridional portion of the ciliary muscle on the trabecular meshwork from collapsing the canal of Schlemm.

Innervation of myofibroblast-like scleral spur cells in human monkey eyes.
PURPOSE To study the innervation of the presumably contractile, myofibroblast-like scleral spur cells in human and cynomolgus monkey eyes. METHODS Serial tangential sections of the scleral spur region of the eyes of 16 human donors and 6 cynomolgus monkeys were investigated with immunocytochemical methods. Antibodies against acetylcholinesterase, synaptophysin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, calc...

PURPOSE To study the innervation of the aqueous outflow channels and scleral spur by autonomic nerves containing substance P. METHODS The experiments were conducted on guinea pigs. Immunohistochemical techniques and capsaicin-ablation of the sensory nerves were used to investigate nerves containing substance P at the light and electron microscopic level. RESULTS Nerves containing substance ...
متن کاملNerve endings with structural characteristics of mechanoreceptors in the human scleral spur.
PURPOSE The innervation of the scleral spur region was investigated to learn whether mechano-receptors are present in this region. METHODS Serial tangential sections and whole-mount preparations of the scleral spur region of 18 human eyes of different ages were investigated with electronmicroscopic and immunohistochemical methods. For immunohistochemistry antibodies against neurofilament-prot...
متن کاملEffects of pilocarpine on the morphology of the human outflow apparatus.
The morphology of the outflow apparatus in human eyes which had been treated topically with either 2 or 4% pilocarpine on 4 occasions at 6-hourly intervals before enucleation was compared with an untreated control series of eyes from patients in a similar age range. In the pilocarpine-treated group the scleral spur was pulled posteriorly and internally, so that the angle formed by the scleral s...
