| inferior nasal venule of retina | The small vein that passes from the inferior medial (nasal) part of the retina to join the central vein. Synonym: venula nasalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |

| inferior temporal arteriole of retina | 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) |
| inferior temporal venule of retina | 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) |
| internal nuclear layer of retina | 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) |
| iridial part of retina | iridial part of retina |
| optic part of retina | 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) |
| temporal venules of retina | See: inferior temporal venule of retina, superior temporal venule of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tigroid retina | A normal fundus to which a deeply pigmented choroid gives the appearance of dark polygonal areas between the choroidal vessels, especially in the periphery. Synonym: fundus tigre, leopard fundus, leopard retina, mosaic fundus, tigroid fundus, tigroid retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external nuclear layer of retina | 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) |
| flecked retina | An retina exhibiting fundus flavimaculatus, hereditary drusen, or fundus albipunctatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flecked retina syndrome | <syndrome> Hereditary retinal disorder with abnormal transmission of fluorescence through the retinal pigment epithelium on angiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fleck retina of Kandori | An autosomal-recessive disorder of the retinal pigment epithelium occurring among Japanese. (05 Mar 2000) |
| layers of 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. 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) |
| leopard retina | A normal fundus to which a deeply pigmented choroid gives the appearance of dark polygonal areas between the choroidal vessels, especially in the periphery. Synonym: fundus tigre, leopard fundus, leopard retina, mosaic fundus, tigroid fundus, tigroid retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limiting membrane of retina | One of two layers of the retina: (05 Mar 2000) |
