light - sensitive layer of the inner surface of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells
○ epithelium
○ cornea
○ retina
○ sclera
○ endothelium
Brief Explanations
- Epithelium: It is a general type of tissue (covering or lining tissue) and not specific to the light - sensitive layer with photoreceptor cells in the eye.
- Cornea: The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. It is mainly involved in focusing light but does not contain photoreceptor cells.
- Retina: The retina is the light - sensitive layer at the back (inner surface) of the eye. It contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) which convert light into neural signals.
- Sclera: The sclera is the tough, white outer coat of the eyeball. It provides structural support and protection but is not light - sensitive and has no photoreceptor cells.
- Endothelium: It is a type of epithelium (single layer of cells) that lines blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and the inner surface of the cornea (in the eye). It is not the light - sensitive layer with photoreceptor cells.
