He was also the first to describe and identify the remnant of the embryonic hyaloid artery.
2.
In the postnatal eye, Cloquet's canal marks the former location of the hyaloid artery.
3.
After regression of the hyaloid artery, the lens receives all its nourishment from the aqueous humor.
4.
Occasionally the artery may not fully regress, resulting in the condition " persistent hyaloid artery ".
5.
Regression of the hyaloid artery leaves a clear central zone through the vitreous humor, called the hyaloid canal or Cloquet's canal.
6.
During the tenth week of development in humans ( time varies depending on species ), the lens grows independent of a blood supply and the hyaloid artery usually regresses.
7.
By nine weeks into human development, the lens is surrounded and nourished by a net of vessels, the tunica vasculosa lentis, which is derived from the hyaloid artery.
8.
An anterior remnant of the hyaloid artery can be seen in some people as Mittendorf's dot, a small pinpoint-like scar on the posterior surface of the lens.
