Choroid Plexus

The choroid plexus is an anatomical structure that is located between the choroid tract and the choroid. It carries out the function of metabolism between the choroid of the eye and the circulatory system.

The function of the choroid plexus is to regulate the blood supply to the anterior segment of the retina and brain. It also performs an immune function, playing an important role in the body’s fight against infections and allergens. The choroidal plexus contains cells and glands that produce proteins such as lymphokines and interferons. These substances may have a protective effect against viruses, bacteria and other infectious agents. Eye health largely depends on the condition of the choroid, which is an important aspect of preserving vision and preventing ophthalmological problems. Therefore, checking the condition of the choroid and, if necessary, carrying out diagnostic measures are considered important procedures for ophthalmologists.
