Across
  1. 3. Layer where ganglion cell axons travel to form optic nerve
  2. 9. Cells responsible for converting light into neural signals
  3. 11. Junction between retina and ciliary body
  4. 12. Capillary network supplying outer retina
  5. 13. Layer containing photoreceptor cell bodies
  6. 14. Glial cells that span the retina and form limiting membranes
  7. 15. Inner retinal synaptic layer (amacrine + bipolar to ganglion)
Down
  1. 1. Layer containing bipolar, horizontal, amacrine, and Müller cells
  2. 2. Layer containing output neurons of the retina
  3. 4. Barrier formed by RPE tight junctions
  4. 5. Color-sensitive photoreceptors requiring high light
  5. 6. Outer pigmented layer of retina
  6. 7. Region of highest visual acuity with mostly cones
  7. 8. Outer retinal synaptic layer (photoreceptors to bipolar/horizontal)
  8. 10. Synapse type involving photoreceptors, bipolar, and horizontal cells (in OPL)
  9. 16. Low-light photoreceptors responsible for scotopic vision
