Lens intracellular hydrostatic pressure is generated by the circulation of sodium and modulated by gap junction coupling

We recently modeled fluid flow through gap junction channels coupling the pigmented and nonpigmented layers of the ciliary body. The model suggested the channels could transport the secretion of aqueous humor, but flow would be driven by hydrostatic pressure rather than osmosis. The pressure require...
