Tree Number(s): A09.371.894.223.250; A10.272.220.250; A10.615.179.250
Unique ID: D016570
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016570
Scope Note: The inner layer of CHOROID, also called the lamina basalis choroideae, located adjacent to the RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM; (RPE) of the EYE. It is a membrane composed of the basement membranes of the choriocapillaris ENDOTHELIUM and that of the RPE. The membrane stops at the OPTIC NERVE, as does the RPE.
