veins thick and dark
arteries thinner and lighter
what cell is very metabolically active what shape are they
RPE
polyhedral pigmented cuboidal and columnar epithelial ells
amount of rods & cones in
macular
periphery
macula - cones
periphery rods>cones
1/3 DD is ______ microns
average disc diameter is
500 microns
1.4-1.22 mm
name the different dimensions of the macula in order of smallest to largest diameter
which one has
-high number of ganglion cells and bipolar cells
-avascular zone
-rod free zone
foveola - rod free
fovea - avascular zone
parafovea - ganglion and bipolar cells
perifovea
the fovea is the location of foveal avascular zone. It instead gets its supplies from
choriocapillaries
what supplies
inner 2/3 of retina
outer 1/3 of retina
inner is - central retinal arter
out is - choroid
name the 3 order of cells in retina
- photoreceptor
- bipolar (inner nuclear layer)
- ganglion
what layer is the bipolar cells located
inner nuclear layer
how many photo receptors does one RPE cell interact with
1 rpe for 30-40 photoreceptors
what connects the outter and inner seg of rods and cones
cilium
what is in the myoid region and ellipsoid region of the rods and cones
myoid
-makes proteins golgi and ER
Ellipsoid region
-makes energy has mitochondria
what region of the photoreceptors have discs
where region connects to rpe cells
out regions
outer region
what is spherules and pedicles
synaptic terminals
spherules - rods
pedicles- cones
what part of the photoreceptors shed constantly
what eats this
discs of outer segment
rpe cells
where is the location where alot rods are located at
3 mm from the center of fovea
what is rhodopsin
pigment of rods
where are photo pigments produced
inner segment then move to discs
name the two components of pigments
what is the purpose of each
which is located in the discs
-chromophore (retina)
absorbs light same in all
-opsin (protein
responsible for wavelength sensitivity
interlaced with discs
metarhodopsin 2 activated what
transducin in photo transduction
GTP and alpha subunit activates what
PDE phosphodiesterase
what percent of people have color deficiency
4.5%
what is the dz of enlarged RPE cells
packed melanin granules
CHRPE
congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium
what dz is linked to colon cancer
CHRPE
what dz has apparent bone spicules
what is spicules what other signs
retinitis pigmentosa
bone spicules are peripheral pigment clumping of spicules
stenuated BV waxy pallor of ONH
cystoid macular edema
ELM is in between what cells
what does the ELM do
mullers and photoreceptors
photoreceptor nuclei and inner segments
it restricts movement of large molecules
