Section of Retina

The nervous structures of the retina proper are supported by a series of nonnervous or sustentacular fibers, and, when examined microscopically by means of sections made perpendicularly to the surface of the retina, are found to consist of seven layers, named from within outward as follows:

  1. Stratum opticum.
  2. Ganglionic layer.
  3. Inner plexiform layer.
  4. Inner nuclear layer, or layer of inner granules.
  5. Outer plexiform layer.
  6. Outer nuclear layer, or layer of outer granules.
  7. Layer of rods and cones.

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?
