MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html). For more information about these ontologies, see the MGI Publications Page at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/other/publications.shtml.

Accession:MP:0014175 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the double layer lining the inner surfaces of the ciliary processes and the pars plana (i.e. the posterior portion of the ciliary body, aka orbicularis ciliari); the outer layer is the pigmented epithelium, which is composed of low cuboidal cells and is adjacent to the stroma and continuous with the retinal pigmented epithelium; the inner layer is formed by non-pigmented epithelium, a columnar epithelium, adjacent to the aqueous humor in the posterior chamber and continuous with the retina; these two layers of the epithelium are appositioned in their apical surfaces
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal ciliary body epithelium morphology;   abnormal epithelium of ciliary body morphology;   abnormal ocular ciliary epithelium morphology
