Is the region that the rods and cones are in vascular?
No, the rods and cones are in an avascular region.
230
What is the path from the globe of the eye to the brain?
1. Exit globe 2. Exit orbit via optic foremen 3. Meets opposite nerve at optic chiasm 4. Continues past chiasm on optic tracts 5. 20% go to pretectal region 6. 80% go to the LGN 7. These axons continue posteriorly to cerebral cortex
231
What does a normal cat retina look like? (3)
1. Circular optic disk lacks myelin 2. 3 major vessels leave the disc at the EDGE 3. Tapetum is usually yellow or green
232
What is PRA?
Progressive retinal atrophy
233
What does a normal dog retina look like? (4)
1. Tapetum - shiny surface 2. Optic disc - white region with vessels on it 3. Retinal vessels - on most of the optic disc 4. Nontapetum - dark region
234
Is the fovea vascular?
No, the fovea is avascular
235
How does the optic nerve exit the eye?
Through the scleral lamina cribosa
236
Which part of the retina has the most dense retinal capillaries?
Central retina
237
What is the optic nerve composed of?
Axons of the retinal ganglion cells, and astrocytes and oligodendrocytes that act as support tissue
238
What does an ERG recording system do?
Measures the electrical responses of the outer retinal layers
239
What is axoplasmic flow?
Transfer of energy and information - interruption can lead to loss of vision!
240
Can the optic nerve be repaired in mammals or birds?
Nope
241
What are clinical signs of PRA? (5)
1. night blindness to total blindness 2. Reduced to absent photoreceptor layer (PLR) 3. Tapetal hyper-reflectivity 4. Retinal vessel attenuation 5. Optic nerve atrophy, +/- cataracts
242
What are some causes for retinal detachment? (5)
1. Trauma 2. Vitreal traction bands - pulls it off 3. Serous effusions - pushes it off 4. Retinal / choroidal / orbital neoplasia 5. Retinal degeneration

What is the hyaloid artery?
An artery that extends from the optic disc through the vitreous humor to the lens, which should be regressed before birth.
