photoreceptors
22 April 2004The retina consists of three main cellular layers (right): a rod cells (R) and cone cells (C) layer or photoreceptor layer, a layer of interneurons (bipolar interneurons, horizontal interneurons, amacrine cells) and the ganglion cell layer, whose axons form the optic nerve, connecting retina and brain.
The photoreceptors are oriented in the same plane as incoming light, which funnels through the inner to the OS.
The outer segment contains a dense array of light-sensitive, hollow discs, (...) -
