Aqueous outflow regulation - 21st century concepts.
Journal Article Prog Retin Eye Res · July 2021 We propose an integrated model of aqueous outflow control that employs a pump-conduit system in this article. Our model exploits accepted physiologic regulatory mechanisms such as those of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems. Here, we also provide ...
