12. Retina
    Retina: The retina is the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light, and creates impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. There is a small area, called the macula, in the retina that contains special light-sensitive cells. The macula allows us to see fine details cle...

15. retina
    Light-sensitive layer of the eye. In vertebrates, looking from outside, there are four major cell layers: (i) the outer neural retina, which contains neurons (ganglion cells, amacrine cells, bipolar cells) as well as blood vessels; (ii) the photoreceptor layer, a single layer of rods and cones; (iii) the pigmented retinal epithelium (PRE or RPE); (iv) the choroid, composed of connective tissue, fibroblasts, and including a well-vascularised layer, the chorio capillaris, underlying the basal lamina of the PRE. Behind the choroid is the sclera, a thick organ capsule. See retinal rods, retinal cones, rhodopsin. In molluscs (especially cephalopods such as the squid) the retina has the light-sensitive cells as the outer layer with the neural and supporting tissues below.

    The vertebrate retina (from Latin rēte, meaning "net") is a light-sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of the eye. The optics of the eye create an image of the visual world on the retina, which serves much the same function as the film in a camera. Light striking the retina initiates a cascad...
