XAO:0004176 ! choroidal vascular plexus #17

  1. Fix the following two syns:

synonym: "<new synonym>" RELATED [] synonym: "capillary lamina of choroid or choriocapillaris" EXACT []

I think the 2nd should be split into two syns:

synonym: "capillary lamina of choroid " EXACT [] synonym: "choriocapillaris" EXACT []

The def is "A plexus of capillaries that is visible anteromedial to the eye. "

Consider adding additional info - e,g relationship to bruch's membrane:

Consider adding other choroidal layers (e.g. in humans the outer layer is other blood vessels)

Also: consider making choriocapilliaris the primary label for the capillary layer

Primary label has been changed to: optic choroid vascular plexus

Synonyms: choroidal vascular plexus, choriocapillaris, capillary lamina of choroid

Definition has been edited: A plexus of capillaries that is located anteromedial to the eye. It is a capillary layer in the choroid. It is in contact with the basal surface of the retinal pigmented epithelium and supplies the photoreceptors with oxygen and nutrients. The fused basement membrane of this capillary layer and the pigmented epithelium is called Bruch's membrane.
