| Muller's radial cells | 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) |
