Title | Paper, 'A continuation of the hyaloid membrane lining the fossa patellaris of the corpus vitreum' by T P [Thomas Peter] Anderson Stuart |
Creator | Stuart; Thomas Peter Anderson (1856-1920); Scottish professor of physiology |
Date | 1891 |
Description | Stuart writes: 'The 9th edition of Quain’s 'Anatomy,’ 1882, after giving a description of the hyaloid membrane and its connexions, says, “According to the account usually given, the hyaloid membrane divides in front into two layers: an anterior, continued forwards as the zonule of Zinn, and a posterior, passing behind the lens, the canal of Petit being contained between them. The above description is based upon a renewed original investigation into the relations of the structures which support the lens, and is confirmatory of the statements of Meckel, Henle, Brailey, and others, and opposed to those of Iwanoff.” How the description adopted by Quain discards the posterior layer passing behind the lens.'
