What is limbus ne demek?

Limbus is a Latin word meaning "border" or "edge." In medicine and biology, limbus refers to the border or transition zone between two different types of tissues or structures. Some specific examples include:

• Limbus corneae: The border between the cornea and the sclera (the white part of the eye)
• Limbus fossae ovalis: The border of the oval fossa in the heart
• Limbus vertebrae: The border between the superior and inferior surfaces of a vertebral body in the spine

In ophthalmology, the term "limbus" is often used to refer to the limbus corneae, particularly in the context of certain eye diseases and surgical procedures. For example, limbal stem cell transplantation is a type of corneal transplant that involves transplanting stem cells from the limbus onto the cornea to restore vision in certain conditions.
