The existence of smooth muscle adjacent to the rat aqueous outflow pathway was confirmed in this study. The smooth muscles ran parallel to the Schlemm's canal and reached the level of the posterior end of Schlemm's canal. The characteristics of these muscles were similar to smooth muscles in other organs. The existence of smooth muscle in this region depends on the fact that the rat eye lacks the scleral spur and the poorly developed meridional fibers of ciliary muscles come to lie close to the endothelial cells of Schlemm's canal. The innervation and function of these smooth muscles are unknown.
本研究证实了大鼠房水流出通道附近存在平滑肌。这些平滑肌与施莱姆管平行，延伸至施莱姆管后端水平。这些肌肉的特征与其他器官中的平滑肌相似。该区域平滑肌的存在取决于大鼠眼睛缺乏巩膜突以及睫状肌子午线纤维发育不良，这些纤维靠近施莱姆管的内皮细胞。这些平滑肌的神经支配和功能尚不清楚。
