The hyaloid canal is a structure found in the eye that runs through the vitreous humor. It is responsible for transporting nutrients to the developing lens during embryonic development. Synonyms for the hyaloid canal include Cloquet's canal, Berger's canal, Stilling's canal, and the canal of Petit. These canals were named after the scientists who first observed and described this structure in the eye. The hyaloid canal is essential for proper eye development and function, and is an important component of the anatomy of the eye. Understanding the various synonyms for this structure can aid in communication among healthcare providers and researchers.
