The retina contains photoreceptors that absorb light and then transmits those signals through the optic nerve to the brain   Snodderly DM, Auran JD, Delori FC. The macular pigment. The retina is a light-sensitive layer that lines the back of the eye. The three types of cones are called red, green, and blue, but each actually detects a range of wavelengths and not these specific colors.

The retina is located at the back of the eye and this part of the eye contains multiple layers of sensory tissue. Snodderly DM, Weinhaus RS, Choi JC. It is a part of the central nervous system, and it generally performs complex signal processing before sending its signals to the lateral geniculate nucleus and the visual cortex. Retinal and Choroidal Vasculature: Retinal Oxygenation 19. Neural-vascular relationships in central retina of Macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). Grosss anatomy • Three distinct regions of retina: • 1.optic disc • 2.macula lutea • 3.peripheral retina • retina extends from optic disc to … 1 Metabolism and blood flow of the retina are complex and in many aspects unique. Spatial distribution in primate retina. Retina • Retina is the innermost tunic of the eyeball • Thin,delicate,transparent membrane • Highly developed tissue of the eye • Appears purplish red 3.

The retina is more than an array of light sensors. Invest Ophthal Vis Sci.

Human eye - Human eye - The retina: The retina is the part of the eye that receives the light and converts it into chemical energy. Retina display is a brand name used by Apple for its series of IPS LCD and OLED displays that have a higher pixel density than traditional Apple displays. Function and Anatomy of the Mammalian Retina 16. Retina Anatomy and Function. It is only 0.2 mm thick and is about the size of a silver dollar. J Neurosci. The retina is made up of 200 million neurons. Structure, Function, and Pathology of Bruch's Membrane 21. The retina has millions of photosensitive cells known as photoreceptors which work to capture and convert light rays into electric signals.

The vertebrate retina: principles of structure and function. 1984;25:674–685. The coating on the interior back of the eye is called the retina.When light strikes the retina, two types of cells are activated. Cell Biology of the Müller Cell 18. Rods detect light and dark and help form images under dim conditions.Cones are responsible for color vision. II. San Francisco: W.H. Mechanisms of Normal Retinal Adhesion 20. Cell Biology of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium 17.

The chemical energy activates nerves that conduct the messages out of the eye into the higher regions of the brain.

Apple applied to register the term "Retina" as a trademark with regards to computers and mobile devices with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Canadian Intellectual Property Office. The retina is a complex nervous structure, being, in essence, an outgrowth of the forebrain.
