title: [Morphological and functional features of vitreous].
abstract: The structure of vitreous is discussed in the article. Its morphologic characteristics are described with consideration of topography and structural features. General vitreous anatomy and its distinct compartments are highlighted. Native and foreign literature concerning biological, biochemical and biophysical properties is analyzed. The value of vitreous developmental and structural features in pathogenesis of some pathologic conditions is estimated The parameters of distinct analyzed characteristics essential to form spatial sonographic image are shown.
