Tunica Vasculosa Lentis
The tunica vasculosa lentis is an extensive capillary network, spreading over the posterior and lateral surfaces of the lens of the eye. It disappears normally shortly after birth, through apoptosis. The structure was not studied properly and in detail until the 1960s, when new technologies developed to allow the preservation of the networks in fetuses. The scanning electron microscope finally enabled researchers to see the network even in very small laboratory animals such as the mouse embryo.

It is a form of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV). It is a developmental disorder of the vitreous. It is usually unilateral and first noticed in the neonatal period. It may be ...

Tunica Vasculosa Testis
The tunica vasculosa testis (vascular layer of testis) is the inner-most of the three layers that form the capsule of the testis. It consists of a vascular plexus and loose connective tissue Loose connective tissue, also known as areolar tissue, is a cellular connective tissue with thin and relatively sparse collagen fibers. They have a semi-fluid matrix with lesser proportions of fibers. Its ground substance occupies more vol .... It extends into the testis itself to line the surfaces of individual septa of testis.
