Q
10 retinal layers
A
- PIGMENT EPITHELIUM: cuboid cells, along basement membrane, have melanin granules
- EXTERNAL PHOTOSENSITIVE: Elongated outer segments of photoreceptors. Contain opsins
- INTERNAL PHOTOSENSITIVE: modified bodies of photoreceptor cells
- EXTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE: junctionnal complexes between photoreceptors and cells of MUller
- EXTERNAL NUCLEAR: photoreceptor nuclei
- EXTERNAL PLEXIFORM: axons, telodendria, dendrites (photoreceptors, bipolar, horizontal cells)
- INTERNAL NUCLEAR: cell bodies (bipolar, horizontal, amacrine
- INTERNAL PLEXIFORM: synapses (bipolar-ganglion cells)
- GANGLION: ganglion cell bodies (form ON)
- NERVE FIBER layer: unmylinated axons of ganglion cells
- INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE: basement membrane adjacent to vitreous humor
