    The trabecular meshwork (TM) of the eye, composed of cells and matrix, is thought to regulate aqueous humor outflow to control intraocular pressure (IOP). The TM and aqueous humor outflow pathway have a wide anatomical variation from one species to another (Chen et al., 2008; Samuelson and Gelatt, 1984; Smelser and Ozanics, 1971); however, the trabecular meshwork of human, rat and mouse all contain extracellular meshwork organized into a network of beams covered with endothelial cells. There are extensive numbers of elastic-like fibers in the juxtacanalicular (JCT) or cribiform region of the human trabecular meshwork (HTM) that form connections to the inner wall of Schlemm's canal.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Aqueous humor formation starts in the middle of the fourth month of gestation and the endothelial lining covers the angle at the same gestational age. Developmental arrest afterward is associated with increased intraocular pressure resulting in congenital buphthalmos.7 Signs of muscular dystrophy appear before the age of 1 year.
