Across
- 3. layer where bipolar cells synapse with ganglion cells
- 4. pigmented layer that absorbs stray light and supports photoreceptors
- 7. junctional layer formed by Muller cells that act as a barrier
- 8. photoreceptors responsible for color vision and high acuity
- 10. region where ganglion cell axons exit the eye
- 11. synaptic layer where photoreceptors connect with bipolar and horizontal cells
- 13. area of the retina lacking blood vessels for optimal light transmission
- 14. retinal layer containing bipolar, horizontal, and amacrine cell bodies
Down
- 1. central retinal region responsible for highest visual acuity
- 2. retinal cells that transmit signals to the brain via the optic nerve
- 3. transparent membrane separating retina from vitreous
- 5. supporting glial cells that span the entire thickness of the retina
- 6. layer containing photoreceptor cell bodies
- 9. layer containing axons that form the optic nerve
- 12. light-sensitive cells responsible for vision in low light
