Layers of the Retina

10/11/2018

The retina consists of ten layers. There are nine neural layers and one pigmented layer. The ten layers are inner limiting layer, nerve fiber layer, ganglionic layer, inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer plexiform layer, outer limiting layer, the rod and cone layer, and the pigmented layer.

Cells of the Retina

Müller cells

10/4/2018

A Müller cell is a glial cell in the retina.

Cone cell

10/3/2018

Cone cells are located in the retina and are responsible for color vision.

Rod Cell

10/2/2018

Rod cells are photoreceptors located in the retina that are responsible for vision in low levels of light.

Bipolar cell

10/1/2018

Bipolar cells transmit signals between photoreceptors (rod cells and cone cells) and the ganglion cells in the retina.

Amacrine Cell

9/30/2018

Amacrine cells are an inhibitory neuron located in the retina. The cell bodies are located at the inner nuclear layer, while the dendrites are located at the inner plexiform layer.
