| hole in retina | A break in the continuity of the sensory retina, permitting separation between the retinal pigment epithelium and sensory retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| horizontal cells of retina | Cell's in the outer part of the inner nuclear layer of the retina that lie with their axes more or less parallel with the surface. They are thought to connect the rods of one part of the retina with cones of another part. (05 Mar 2000) |
| separation of retina | <ophthalmology> A painless disorder (when spontaneous) where the patient complains of a gradual raising or lowering of a curtain over the visual field of the affected eye. May also occur as the result of trauma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| shot-silk retina | The appearance of numerous wavelike, glistening reflexes, like the shimmer of silk, observed sometimes in the retina of a young person. Synonym: shot-silk phenomenon, shot-silk reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasal venules of retina | See: inferior nasal venule of retina, superior nasal venule of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |

| neural layer of optic retina | See: retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural layer 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) |
| neural retina | <embryology> Layer of nerve cells in the retina, embryologically part of the brain. The incoming light passes through nerve fibres and intermediary nerve cells of the neural retina, before encountering the light sensitive rods and cones at the interface between neural retina and the pigmented retinal epithelium. (04 Jul 1999) |
| neuroepithelial 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) |
| nuclear layers of retina | The outer nuclear layer, layer 4, of the retina, neuroepithelial layer of retina, and the inner layer, layer 6, of the retina, ganglionic layer of retina. Synonym: granular layers of retina, stratum nucleare externum et internum retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior nasal arteriole of retina | 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) |
| superior nasal venule of retina | The small vein that drains blood from the upper medial (nasal) part of the retina; it joins the central vein. Synonym: venula nasalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior temporal arteriole of retina | 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) |
| superior temporal venule of retina | The venule that passes from the upper lateral (temporal) part of the retina to join the central vein. Synonym: venula temporalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
