- Inner limiting membrane - Müller cell footplates
- Nerve fiber layer - axons of the ganglion cell nuclei
- Ganglion cell layer - contains nuclei of ganglion cells, the axons of which become the optic nerve fibers for messages.
- Inner plexiform layer - contains the synapse between the bipolar cell axons and the dendrites of the ganglion and amacrine cells.
- Inner nuclear layer - contains the nuclei and surrounding cell bodies (perikarya) of the bipolar cells.
- Outer plexiform layer - projections of rods and cones ending in the rod spherule and cone pedicle, respectively. These make synapses with dendrites of bipolar In the macular region, this is known as the Fiber layer of Henle.
- Outer nuclear layer - cell bodies of rods and cones
- External limiting membrane - layer that separates the inner segment portions of the photoreceptors from their cell nucleus
- Photoreceptor layer - rods/cones
- Retinal pigment epithelium - single layer of cuboidal cells

What are the 3 layers of the eye wall?
The three layers of the wall are the outer fibrous coat, the middle vascular layer and the inner nervous layer.
What are the structures and fluids through which light passes as it travels from the cornea to the retina?
Cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, retina.
What is the sensitive surface of the eye that acts like the film in a camera?
It's actually called the lens, which is in the cornea.
Where is the photoreceptor located?
the back portion of the eye
Why is the retina the first membrane of the eye?
because it has millions of nervous cells that line its interior that transform the stimuli into info captured by the brain, brought by the optic nerve. without the retina being the first layer, the info, would not make it to the brain ('cause it wouldn't pass through the other layers)
Layers containing the rods and cones?
retina
What is the light sensitive tissue in the eye?
The retina. This consists of layers of cells that detect light and colour and transmit information to the brain via the optic nerve.
Humans have eyes composed of three layers?
The three layers are the retina, sclera, and the choroid.
What are choroids?
Choroids are the vascular layer of the eye. It lays between the retina and the sclera of the eye. The choroid provides oxygen to the outer layers of the retina.
Identify the concentric layers of the eyeball that are its primary structures?
Sclera, choroid, and the retina.
Which neuron layers of an axon form the optic nerve?
There are three layers of neurons in the retina. The axons of GANGLION CELLS form the optic nerves.
What is the bind spot of the eye?
The blind spot is the location in the retina where all the nerves from the retina dive back down through the tissue layers to form the optic nerve.
What are the 3 layers of the eye wall?
The three layers of the wall are the outer fibrous coat, the middle vascular layer and the inner nervous layer.
What are the structures and fluids through which light passes as it travels from the cornea to the retina?
Cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, retina.
How many layers does the wall of the eyes have?
The human eye is made up of three layers. These are the outer layer, the middle layer and the inner layer.
What is the layer of photoreceptors?
the retina contains the rods and cones which sense the amount of light and different colors respectively.
What is the back of the eye called?
Your Retina
