Bruch's membrane

Preferred Label : Bruch's membrane;

Uberon definition : A transparent, nearly structureless innermost layer of the choroid in contact with the pigmented layer of the retina.;

Uberon synonym : Bruch membrane; vitreous lamina; lamina basalis (choroid); Bruch's basal membrane;

Uberon related term : basal lamina of choroid;

Uberon broad term : lamina basilis;

Uberon Development note : Bruch's membrane is present by midterm in fetal development as an elastic sheet.;

Uberon Structure note : Bruch's membrane consists of five layers (from inside to outside): 1. the basement membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium; 2. the inner collagenous zone; 3. a central band of elastic fibers; 4. the outer collagenous zone; 5. the basement membrane of the choriocapillaris. The retinal pigment epithelium transports metabolic waste from the photoreceptors across Bruch's membrane to the choroid[WP];
