    Schlemm's Canal is a circular lymphatic-like vessel located in the eye that drains aqueous humor, the clear fluid filling the space in the front of the eyeball part, from the intraocular space into the bloodstream. It's a crucial component of the outflow pathway for the eye fluid and its malfunctioning can lead to increased eye pressure, potentially contributing to glaucoma. It was named after Friedrich Schlemm, a German anatomist who first described it.
