How is the Retina Structured Histologically?

The retina is a multi-layered structure crucial for vision. It includes:
Photoreceptor Layer: Contains rods and cones, responsible for detecting light.
Outer Nuclear Layer: Contains cell bodies of photoreceptors.
Inner Nuclear Layer: Contains cell bodies of bipolar, horizontal, and amacrine cells.
Ganglion Cell Layer: Contains cell bodies of ganglion cells, whose axons form the optic nerve.
Histological changes in these layers can indicate various retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa and AMD.
