Fig. 2. Path of aqueous flow from the anterior chamber to collector channels.

Fig. 2.

The blue arrows depict the passage of aqueous from the anterior chamber through passages within the trabecular lamellae that lead into the juxtacanalicular space. From the juxtacanalicular space, aqueous passes through the lumen of the Schlemm’s canal (SC) inlet valves, where it flows into SC. From SC, aqueous enters a collector channel (CC) entrance through an open SC inlet valve. SC endothelium (SCE) is continuous with the SC inlet valve. The SC inlet valve connections link the TM to the hinged, mobile SC outlet valve.
