Photoreceptors oxygen supply

In maimnalian retina, which capillary beds supply oxygen to the photoreceptors and which to the remaining parts of the retina ... [Pg.133]

Photoreceptors receive nutrients via a network of small capillaries under the retina, the choroid plexus. The inner layers have their own blood supply coming from the blood vessels in the optic nerve head. The blood vessels in the inner retina form circular arcades around the central retina, the macula. The center-most portion of the macula (the fovea) contains no blood vessels, and derives oxygen and nutrients from the choroid plexus. [Pg.49]
