| 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) |
|---|---|
| sustentacular fibres of retina | Sustentacular neuroglial cells of the retina running through the thickness of the retina from the internal limiting membrane to the bases of the rods and cones where they form a row of junctional complexes. Synonym: Muller's radial cells, sustentacular fibres of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| demarcation line of retina | Junction of avascular and vascular retina in retinopathy of prematurity; line marking the limits of an old retinal detachment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detached 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) |
| inferior nasal arteriole of retina | 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) |
| 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) |
