One collector channel: Architecture and internal relationships. Images (A,B) demonstrate the architecture of outflow structures obtained after segmentation of the lumens (dark appearance) visible in the OCT images. Cross-sections in (C,D) explore internal structure at a CC exiting SC that communicates with a CVC at the location of the blue slice in (A) and green outline in the color map in (B). The lumen of the CC is a short segment oriented perpendicular to both SC and the CVC lumen. The SC and CVC lumens are oriented parallel to each other. SC, CC, and CVC lumen experience synchronous pressure-dependent compression and distention (Supplementary Video 2).
