Inside Retinal Layers
The
nuclei of the Müller cells lie in the inner nuclear layer, whereas the nuclei of the photoreceptors
lie in the outer nuclear layer.
·
The nerve fiber
layer contains the axons of the ganglion
cells.
·
The inner plexiform
layer has axons of the bipolar
and amacrine cells and the synapses of the ganglion cells.
·
The outer plexiform
layer has connections between the photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells.
·
The
footplates of the Müller cells form the internal limiting membrane.
