Lens crystallina, is included in a proper capsule ; the an-terior is firmer than the posterior, which depends on the con-nection with the zonula ciliaris, and obtains its vessels fromthe corpus ciliare. In the posterior capsule is distributedthe arteria centralis, and it is connected with the hyaloidmembrane by loose cellular tissue. Humor vitreus, consists of cells, filled with a fluid likeaqueous humor. It obtains its vessels from the retina, andthe central artery going to the capsule gives off the arterialateralis Albini. When the cells are destroyed, they are notrestored, but the space is filled by a fluid, which resemblesaqueous humor. 397 > LATE 1.
