    299 12 Retina Gabriele K. Lang and Gerhard K. Lang 12.1 Basic Knowledge The retina is the innermost of three successive layers of the globe. It comprises two parts: ❖ A photoreceptive part (pars optica retinae), comprising the first nine of the 10 layers listed below. ❖ A nonreceptive part (pars caeca retinae) forming the epithelium of the cil- iary body and iris. The pars optica retinae merges with the pars ceca retinae at the ora serrata. Embryology: The retina develops from a diverticulum of the forebrain (proen- cephalon). Optic vesicles develop which then invaginate to form a double- walled bowl, the optic cup. The outer wall becomes the pigment epithelium, and the inner wall later differentiates into the nine layers of the retina. The retina remains linked to the forebrain throughout life through a structure known as the retinohypothalamic tract. Thickness of the retina (Fig. 12.1) Layers of the retina: Moving inward along the path of incident light, the individual layers of the retina are as follows (Fig. 12.2): 1. Inner limiting membrane (glial cell fibers separating the retina from the vitreous body). 2. Layer of optic nerve fibers (axons of the third neuron). 3. Layer of ganglion cells (cell nuclei of the multipolar ganglion cells of the third neuron; “data acquisition system”). 4. Inner plexiform layer (synapses between the axons of the second neuron and dendrites of the third neuron). 5. Inner nuclear layer (cell nuclei of the bipolar nerve cells of the second neuron, horizontal cells, and amacrine cells). 6. Outer plexiform layer (synapses between the axons of the first neuron and dendrites of the second neuron).

A highly specialized area found in haplorhine primates (including humans) is the fovea centralis which is defined by a high density of cone photoreceptors connected individually to interneurons, and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that are offset to form a pit lacking retinal capillaries and inner retinal neurons at its center. In dogs, a local increase in RGC density is found in a topographically comparable retinal area defined as the area centralis. While the canine retina is devoid of a foveal pit, no detailed examination of the photoreceptors within the area centralis has been reported. Using both in vivo and ex vivo imaging, we identified a retinal region with a primate fovea-like cone photoreceptor density but without the excavation of the inner retina.

Editing file Color index: Important | Notes | Book & previous teams | Extra Special thanks to 436 (A) teamwork. Embryology of The Eye: This highly specialized sensory organ is derived from: • Ectoderm ▪ Neural ectoderm. ▪ Surface ectoderm. • Mesoderm. • ENDODERM does not contribute in eye embryogenesis. The eye is essentially an outgrowth from the brain (neural ectoderm). It started as optic vesicle connected to the forebrain by optic stalk. The primitive eyes come as lateral bulbs then move anteriorly. In embryology, the development of one organ is very important to develop the second one. The development of the eye is very crucial for the development of the orbit. If eye development is arrested, the bony orbit will not develop normally, and the child will have dysmorphic features. If the primitive eye develops the surface ectoderm will invaginate to form the lens. If the surface ectoderm fails to invaginate the surface epithelium won’t form. During development of the eye, all structures of the eye are vascular (important). At the end of embryogenesis, the lens, vitreous & cornea become avascular which ensures clarity of the media for the passage of light to be focused on the retina to be able to see.
