|---|---|
| maculae acusticae | See: macula of saccule, macula of utricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heterotopia maculae | A condition in which one macula is displaced so that the two foveas are not at corresponding retinal points. Synonym: heterotopia maculae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuroepithelium maculae | The specialised sensory hair cells of the epithelium of the macula sacculi and macula utriculi. Synonym: neuroepithelium maculae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arteriola medialis retinae | An arteriole supplying the part of the retina between the optic disk and the macula. Synonym: arteriola medialis retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriola nasalis retinae inferior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that supplies the lower medial, or nasal, part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola nasalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriola nasalis retinae superior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes to the upper medial, or nasal, part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola nasalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriola temporalis retinae inferior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes laterally below the macula to supply the lower lateral or temporal part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola temporalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriola temporalis retinae superior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes laterally above the macula to supply the upper lateral or temporal part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola temporalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
