- A highly vascular membrane in the eye between the retina and the sclera; a dark pigmentation minimizes the scattering of light inside the eye
- Layer of blood vessels and pigments (usually brown or blue) that lies beneath the sclera (the white of the eye). Often mistakenly called the iris.
- The layer filled with blood vessels that nourish the retina.
- Adjective, Greek chorion = skin and eidos = shape or form, hence, like a membrane.
- A thin, pigmented inner layer of the vertebrate eye.
- Highly vascular tissue layer lying under the retina, merging at the angle of the anterior chamber with the ciliary body and the iris.
- The vascular coat of the eye which supplies the photoreceptors (the visual cells) with oxygen and nutrients.
- A vascular and deeply pigmented tissue lining, which is sandwiched between the retina and the sclera. The choroid is shaped like a semi-circular cup or bowl.
- Provides major part of nutrients to the retina through blood vessels. Part of the uvea.
