The ganglion cell layer (ganglionic layer) consists of a single layer of large ganglion cells, except in the macula lutea, where there are several strata. the Peripheral organs of the Special senses the organs of Taste ( Peripheral gustatory or Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group A ganglion cell (more correctly a retinal ganglion cell or RGC) is a type of Neuron typically located near the inner surface of the Retina The macula or macula lutea (from Latin macula, "spot" + lutea, "yellow" is an oval Yellow spot near the center
The cells are somewhat flask-shaped; the rounded internal surface of each resting on the stratum opticum, and sending off an axon which is prolonged into it. Laboratory flasks are vessels (containers which fall into the category of Laboratory equipment known as glassware. The Retinal nerve fiber layer ( nerve fibre layer, stratum opticum, RNFL) is formed by the expansion of the fibers of the Optic nerve An axon or nerve fiber is a long slender projectionof a nerve cell or Neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's Cell
From the opposite end numerous dendrites extend into the inner plexiform layer, where they branch and form flattened arborizations at different levels. The inner plexiform layer is made up of a dense reticulum of minute Fibrils formed by the interlacement of the Dendrites of the Ganglion cells with those
The ganglion cells vary much in size, and the dendrites of the smaller ones as a rule arborize in the inner plexiform layer as soon as they enter it; while those of the larger cells ramify close to the inner nuclear layer. Dendrites (from Greek δένδρον déndron, “tree” are the branched projections of a Neuron that act to conduct the electrochemical The inner nuclear layer or layer of inner granules is made up of a number of closely packed cells of which there are three varieties viz
