uvea
The uvea is the middle layer of the eye, lying beneath the white of the eye (sclera) and consisting of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It is responsible for supplying blood flow to the deeper layers of the eye, including the retina, and also plays a role in the production of aqueous humor fluid that helps regulate eye pressure.

Uvea
The uvea, also called the uveal layer, uveal coat, uveal tract, or vascular tunic, is the pigmented middle of the three concentric layers that make up an eye. The name is possibly a reference to its reddish-blue or almost black colour, wrinkled appearance and grape-like size and shape when stripped intact from a cadaveric eye. Its use as a technical term in anatomy and ophthalmology is relatively modern.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Uvea
ū′vē-a, n. the vascular tunic of the eye—iris, ciliary body, and choroid.—adjs. U′veal, U′veous. [L. uva, a bunch of grapes.]
