| raphe retinae | The horizontal line separating the superior and inferior portions of the temporal retina over which the retinal nerve fibres do not course. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| venula medialis retinae | The small vein that passes from the part of the retina between the macula and the optic disk to join the central vein. Synonym: venula medialis retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venula temporalis retinae inferior | The small vein that passes from the lower lateral (temporal) part of the retina to enter the central vein. Synonym: venula temporalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ceca retinae | The embryological anterior part of the retina that evolves into the pars ciliaris retinae and pars iridica retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ciliaris retinae | pars ciliaris retinae |
| pars iridica retinae | pars iridica retinae |
| pars nervosa retinae | pars nervosa retinae |
| pars optica retinae | The internal layer of the retina containing the neural elements, as distinguished from the outer leaf of the retina, or pigmented layer. Synonym: pars optica retinae, neural layer of retina, optic part of retina, stratum cerebrale retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rhytidosis retinae | Retinal wrinkling. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commotio retinae | Concussion of the retina that may produce a milky oedema in the posterior pole that clears up after a few days. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyanosis retinae | Venous congestion of the retina. Shunt cyanosis, any blue colour of the entire skin or a region of the skin or mucous membrane due to a right to left shunt permitting unoxygenated blood to reach the left side of the circulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum cerebrale retinae | The internal layer of the retina containing the neural elements, as distinguished from the outer leaf of the retina, or pigmented layer. Synonym: pars optica retinae, neural layer of retina, optic part of retina, stratum cerebrale retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum ganglionare retinae | The intermediate layer of neurons in the retina composed largely of bipolar cells. Synonym: internal nuclear layer of retina, stratum ganglionare retinae, stratum nucleare internum retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum moleculare retinae | Name applied to each of the plexiform layers of the retina. Synonym: stratum moleculare retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum neuroepitheliale retinae | The outermost layer of the cerebral layer of retina, composed of the primary receptor cells of the retina; the stratum consists of two sublayers: 1) an external layer made up of the rods and cones, the photosensitive processes of the receptor cells, and 2) the external nuclear layer containing the cell bodies of these cells; the external limiting membrane forms a perforated supporting plate between the two sublayers; the name refers to the fact that the retinal receptor cells are a specialised form of (epithelial) ependyma cell and thus, in a sense, are comparable to the neuroepithelial cells (e.g., hair cells) of other sense organs. Synonym: external nuclear layer of retina, stratum neuroepitheliale retinae, stratum nucleare externum retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
