| polus posterior bulbi oculi | The centre of the posterior curvature of the eye. Synonym: polus posterior bulbi oculi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| xanthomatosis bulbi | Ulcerative fatty degeneration of the cornea after injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spatium intervaginale bulbi oculi | The space between the fascial sheath of the eyeball and the sclera. Synonym: spatium episclerale, interfascial space, spatium interfasciale, spatium intervaginale bulbi oculi, Tenon's space. (05 Mar 2000) |

| tunica interna bulbi | 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. 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. See: retinal rods, retinal cones, rhodopsin. (18 Nov 1997) |
