The
retina is a multilayered neural ectoderm structure which lines the inside
surface of the eye posterior to the ora serrata (#22014).
The retina has three cellular layers (#22017, #21884) which are
classified as the ganglion cell layer, the inner nuclear layer, and the
outer nuclear layer. The connections between the cellular layers are found in the
inner plexiform layer and the outer plexiform layer. The rods and cones are the outermost layer of the retina
(#15073) and are in direct approximation to the retinal pigment
epithelium. The choroid
underlies the retina and is responsible for providing nourishment to the
outer one-third of the retina (#22015).
The fovea (#1033)in the center of the macula, is that area of the
retina where the most acute vision is obtained.

views of the normal fundus, see (#21860, #21863, #23144, #30464).
-(#22391, #44413) are of normal retina.
-(#30467)
is of a normal fovea
-In slide
(#22511), pigment epithelium under a normal retina can be seen.
-Normal
ganglion cells (#30476), bipolar cells (#30479), rods in the periphery of
the retina (#30482) and piment epithelium (#30485) can also be seen.
