Across
  1. 3. complexes between the rod and cone (inner segments) and the supportive Müller
  2. 5. a multilayered structure containing photoreceptors as well as neurons and
  3. 8. This layer contains the neurons that perform the initial
  4. 11. Portion of the macula rich in cones
  5. 12. Protective pigment in the RPE
  6. 13. Inner (blank) layer where amacrine cells synapse
  7. 15. responsible for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the retina, including regulating the extracellular environment, removing debris, and supporting neuronal function
  8. 17. Cells that combine to form the optic nerve

  1. 1. Spherule with single invagination
  2. 2. Layer of the LGN that process “where is it”
  3. 4. of visual information and then relay that on to the retinal ganglion cells.
  4. 6. Vitamin A derived chemical used in photo-transduction
  5. 7. Two types of synapses photoreceptors, horizontal and bipolar cells

  7. 10. Outermost layer of the retina that absorbs light to decrease inappropriate scattering
  8. 14. cells
  9. 16. This physiological phenomenon is caused by the optic disc where there are no photo receptors
