" /> outer plexiform layer of retina - CISMeF





Preferred Label : outer plexiform layer of retina;

Uberon definition : The layer within the retina where the bipolar cells synapse with the photoreceptor cells[ZFA]. Between the inner and outer nuclear layers, the outer plexiform layer (OPL) contains connections between the photoreceptors and bipolar and horizontal cells[GO].;

Uberon synonym : retina outer plexiform layer; retinal outer plexiform layer; outer plexiform layer; stratum plexiforme externum;

Uberon related term : retinal outer plexiform layers; retina, outer plexiform layer;

Uberon narrow term : OPL;

Uberon broad term : external plexiform layer;

Uberon Homology note : (...) an essentially similar sequence of events occurs during the embryonic development of the vertebrate eye. The eye initially develops as a single median evagination of the diencephalon that soon bifurcates to form the paired optic vesicles. As each optic vesicle grows towards the body surface, its proximal part narrows as the optic stalk, and its distal part invaginates to form a two-layered optic cup. (...) The outer layer of the optic cup becomes the pigment layer of the retina, whereas the inner layer differentiates into the photoreceptive cells and neuronal layers of the retina.[well established][VHOG];
