Across
  1. 2. Cone pedicle and flat (OFF) bipolar cell
  2. 3. Line that marks the termination of the photoreceptor cells of the retina anteriorly.
  3. 5. Avascular from outer plexiform later to the RPE
  4. 9. Cells that make synapses in the inner plexiform layer.
  5. 10. “What pathway”- These cells are more sensitive to light and thus are the receptors primarily used in period of low light intensity, but the resulting image is monochromatic.
  6. 11. Horizontal cells, rod bipolar, and rod spherule
  7. 14. Small shallow depression in the center of the macular where light is focused.
  8. 15. Contains axons of rod and cone bipolar and amacrine cells and the dendritic trees of the retinal ganglion cells and the interplexiform neurons that send feedback from IPL to the OPL.
Down
  1. 1. The final element of the neural retina consisting of the expanded terminal portions of Muller glia and astrocytes.
  2. 4. Contains the cell bodies of bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, interplexiform neurons, and Muller cells.
  3. 6. 2 horizontal cells and an invaginating ON bipolar cells
  4. 7. Collects input from between 15 and 30 rod spherules in the outer plexiform layer.
  5. 8. “Where pathway”- These cells are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light allowing you to discern colors and more detailed visual information, but they require more intense illumination.
  6. 12. Multilayered structure containing photoreceptors as well as neurons and glia
  7. 13. Where the external and the initial limiting membranes (ELM and ILM) are formed.
