  • Title: Freeze-fractured replica of Schlemm's canal and the trabecular meshwork in the primate.
    Author: Okinami S, Matsumura M, Ohkuma M.
    Journal: Albrecht Von Graefes Arch Klin Exp Ophthalmol; 1981; 217(1):17-26. PubMed ID: 6911001.
    Abstract:
    Using a freeze-fracture technique, the fine structure of the Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork in the monkey was studied with special reference to intercellular junctions. Gap junctions were observed between the endothelial cells of Schlemm's canal and between the trabecular meshwork cells. Maculae occludentes were rarely observed between the endothelial cells of the inner wall of Schlemm's canal. The trabecular meshwork cells appeared to act in an electrotonic and metabolic syncytium.
