Layer of rods and cones
The elements composing the Layer of Rods and Cones (Jacob’s membrane) in the retina of the eye are of two kinds rod cells and cone cells the former being much […]
Inner plexiform layer
The inner plexiform layer is an area of the retina that is made up of a dense reticulum of fibrils formed by interlaced dendrites of retinal ganglion cells and cells […]
Ciliary processes
The ciliary processes are formed by the inward folding of the various layers of the choroid i.e. the choroid proper and the lamina basalis and are received between corresponding foldings […]
Corneal epithelium
The corneal epithelium (epithelium corneæ anterior layer) is made up of epithelial tissue and covers the front of the cornea. It acts as a barrier to protect the cornea resisting […]
Stroma of cornea
The substantia propria (or stroma of cornea) is fibrous tough unyielding and perfectly transparent. It is composed of about 200 flattened lamellæ (plates of collagen fibrils) superimposed one on another. […]
Anterior proper fasciculus
Anterior proper fasciculus fasciculus proprius or fasiculus proprii (anterior basis bundle) is the remaining fibers of the anterior funiculus.It consists of (a) longitudinal intersegmental fibers which arise from cells in […]
Posterior proper fasciculus
The posterior proper fasciculus (posterior ground bundle; posterior basis bundle) arises from cells in the posterior column; their axons bifurcate into ascending and descending branches which occupy the ventral part […]
Lateral proper fasciculus
The lateral proper fasciculus (lateral basis bundle) constitutes the remainder of the lateral column and is continuous in front with the anterior proper fasciculus. It consists chiefly of intersegmental fibers […]
Temporopontine fibers
In the human nervous system the temporopontine fibers a component of the corticopontine tract are lateral to the cerebrospinal fibers; they originate in the temporal lobe and end in the […]
