the retina

Definition of the retina in English English dictionary: eyeglass
retina: {n} the expansion of nerves at the bottom of the eye by which vision is produced
retina: The retina is a thin tissue at the back of the eye that contains several cell types that are similar to brain cells since they are all neurons The cell types include photoreceptor neurons (rods and cones) and other types of neurons The photoreceptor cells of the retina absorb light and convert this light to electrical signals The electrical signals are transferred from the photoreceptors to secondary neurons which then send the electrical signals to the visual cortex region of the brain for interpretation The brain and retina constitute the Central Nervous System of the body
retina: The light sensitive part of the back of the eye that corresponds to the film in a camera
retina: Thin tissue in the back of the eye that receives an image formed by the lens and converts it to electrical impulses carried by the optic nerve to the brain
retina: The delicate lining at the back of the eye that forms light into images that it sends to the brain See the Retina FAQ
retina: a light-sensitive membrane lining the inner eyeball Images are formed on the retina before being transmitted to the brain on the optic nerve
retina: a delicate, multi-layered, light-sensitive membrane lining the inner eyeball and connected by the optic nerve to the brain It is composed of many layers including one containing the rods and cones, and functions as the immediate instrument of vision by receiving the image formed by the lens and converting it into chemical and nervous signals which reach the brain by way of the optic nerve Submitted by Jeffrey S Fox, foxjeff1@pilot msu edu rhodopsin Rhodopsin is a retinal photosensitive protein found in higher organisms, like mammals It is a lot like bacteriorhodopsin, except that's found in bacteria and slightly different in structure Submitted by Greg Brown, gbrown@artoo gisd k12 mi us
retina: The light-sensitive layer of nerve cells (rods and cones) that lines the back of the eyeball It sends visual impulses through the optic nerve to the brain The macula is in the center of the retina and is made up of cones
retina: the layer of light-sensitive cells lining the back of the inside of the eye; consists of rods and cones
retina: a layer of fine sensory tissue that lines the inside wall of the eye The retina acts like the film in a camera to capture images, transforms the images into electrical signals, and sends the signals to the brain
retina: Light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that transmits visual impulses via the optic nerve to the brain
retina: the light-sensitive nerve layer that lines the back of the eye The retina sense light and creates impulses that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain
retina: The light-sensitive cell layers of the inner lining of the back of the eye
retina: The nerve tissue that lives at the back of the eye, similar to the film in a camera, which takes the image you are looking at and transmits it to the brain through the optic nerve This area is nourished by a web of very fine blood vessels The layers of cells in the back of the eye that are responsible for sensing light and transmitting light- induced signals to the brain
retina: The thin layer of cells at the back of the eyeball where light is converted into neural signals sent to the brain
retina: the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light and creates impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain
retina: The light sensitive layer of cells (rods and cones) on the inner back surface of the eye that converts light images into nervous impulses sent along the optic nerve for transmission to the brain
retina: The inner layer of tissue at the back of the eye that is sensitive to light
retina: —A membrane lining the inside of the back of the eye that contains light-sensitive nerve cells that convert focused light into nerve impulses, making vision possible
retina: The delicate membrane by which the back part of the globe of the eye is lined, and in which the fibers of the optic nerve terminate
retina: The thin lining at the back of the eye that converts images from the eye's optical system into electronical impulses sent along the optic nerve for transmission to the brain
retina: the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye
retina: the posterior inside surface of the eye, which receives a light image refracted through the cornea and lens, and transmits it to the brain via the optic nerve
retina: The sensory lining (inner coat) of the eyeball which receives images that have been focused by the lens Photoreceptor cells in the retina transform light energy into chemical energy Nerves connected to the photoreceptor cells transmit information via the optic nerve to the brain
retina: Your retina is the area at the back of your eye. It receives the image that you see and then sends the image to your brain. the area at the back of your eye that receives light and sends an image of what you see to your brain (probably from rete ). Layer of nerve tissue covering the back two-thirds of the eyeball. Light focused onto the retina by the lens of the eye stimulates two types of light-sensitive cells: rods, which are sensitive to low light levels, and cones, which provide detailed vision and colour perception. Chemical changes in these cells trigger nerve impulses, which are assembled by complex connections among retinal nerves into a pattern to be carried through the optic nerve to the visual centres of the brain. Disorders affecting the retina or the macula in its centre decrease vision and can cause blindness. See also detached retina; macular degeneration
retina: Located at the back of the eye, the retina's photosensitive cells convert light images into electrical impulses for the optic nerve The optic nerve sends those impulses to the visual part of the brain, where they are interpreted into what we know as "sight"
retina: A layer of receptors at the back of the eye that forwards information to the optic tract and eventually to the brain
retina: The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the eyeball, sending visual impulses through the optic nerve to the brain
retina: the light-sensitive membrane covering the back wall of the eyeball; it is continuous with the optic nerve
retina: {i} light-sensitive layer at the back of the eyeball which receives images and transmits them to the brain as nerve impulses (Anatomy)
retina: A layer of cells at the back of the eye which are sensitive to light and upon which the image formed by the lens is focused The image is then carried to the brain by the optic nerve
