What do the cells in the retina and the cells that line your air passages have in common?
The cells in the retina and the cells that line your air-passages have only one thing in common: they are often seen in close proximity to each other in homework questions about what the relationship between retinal cells and air-passage cells might be.
Are there retina specialist at Baylor?
Yes, I recommend Dr. Brian Chan-Kai. He is a specialist in retinal diseases and ocular oncology at the Baylor College of Medicine.
What is the function of a bionic eye?
The retina, located at the back of the eye, converts images into nerve signals that travel via the optic nerve to the brain. Damage to the retina causes vision loss. A bionic eye uses a retinal implant connected to a video camera that is built into a pair of glasses. The camera converts images into electrical impulses which activate remaining retinal cells. The cells then send visual information along the optic nerve to the brain, where the image is interpreted. In this way the bionic eye mimics the function of the retina and restores sight. The bionic eye will restore useful vision on people with advanced retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
What is the name for a retinal cell?
The retina is made of several layers of cells that come in five major flavors. These cells are the photoreceptors (rods and cones), bipolar cells, ganglion cells, amacrine cells, and horizontal cells.
Which is larger retinal arteries or retinal veins?
Retinal veins are larger than retinal arteries. Retinal veins are between 2/3 to 3/4 times larger than the arteries of the retina. Retinal vein are also darker red then the arteries.
What are the two parts of the retina?
The retinal pigment epithelium and the neural retina.
What does retinal mean?
having to do with the retina of the eye
What is retinal cancer?
Retinal cancer is a cancer that arises in the cells of the retina. The retina is the layer of cells in the back of the eye where light is converted to nerve impulses.
What is retinal vein occlusion?
Retinal vein occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal vein that drains the retina or to that of one of its branches.
What is retinal hemorrhage?
Retinal hemorrhage is the abnormal bleeding of the blood vessels in the retina, the membrane in the back of the eye.
What is the difference etween an opthalmologist and a vitreo retinal specialist?
A vitreo retinal specialist is an ophthalmologist. It is a subspeciality of ophthalmology treating the back of the eye which included the vitreous and the retina. It is necessary to see one of these for treatment of macular degeneration and retinal detachments that a general ophthalmologist cannot treat.
What conditions is retinal cryopexy used to treat?
retinal breaks or detachments; retinal ischemia (retinal tissue that lacks oxygen); neovascularization (proliferation of blood vessels in the retina); Coats' disease
What is retinal detachment surgery?
Retinal detachment surgery is a medical procedure performed to reattach the retina to the back of the eye. This is crucial because a detached retina can lead to vision loss if not promptly treated.
What is the likelihood of success in retinal cryopexy?
For retinal reattachments, the retina can be repaired in about 90% of cases. Early treatment almost always improves the vision of most patients with retinal detachment.
What is retinal detachment?
Retinal detachment is when the retina, the part of the back of the eye which contains numerous blood vesses, because detached from the wall of the eyeball. It can be serious and can lead to blindness if left untreated. It is most commonly caused by high blood pressure. The high blood pressure causes pockets to form between the retina and the other lays of tissues in the eye. Over time, the suction between the wall of the eye and retina is gone and the retina slowly detaches from the eye. It is not usually noticed until the retina is actually detaching from the eye. During this time you may see blurriness, floaters or blindness. Fortunatly, the retina can be surgically reattached to the eye and vision can be restored if treated as soon as possible.
Contain many blood vessles which nourish retina?
Central Retinal Artery
