Difference between Optic disc and Retina

Optic disc vs. Retina

The optic disc or optic nerve head is the point of exit for ganglion cell axons leaving the eye. The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Similarities between Optic disc and Retina

Optic disc and Retina have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Blind spot (vision), Cone cell, Fovea centralis, Human eye, Ophthalmoscopy, Optic nerve, Optical coherence tomography, Retinal ganglion cell, Rod cell.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Blind spot (vision)

A blind spot, scotoma, is an obscurity of the visual field.

Cone cell

Cone cells, or cones, are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye).

Fovea centralis

The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye.

Human eye

The human eye is an organ which reacts to light and pressure.

Ophthalmoscopy

Ophthalmoscopy, also called funduscopy, is a test that allows a health professional to see inside the fundus of the eye and other structures using an ophthalmoscope (or funduscope).

Optic nerve

The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

Optical coherence tomography

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that uses coherent light to capture micrometer-resolution, two- and three-dimensional images from within optical scattering media (e.g., biological tissue).

Retinal ganglion cell

A retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is a type of neuron located near the inner surface (the ganglion cell layer) of the retina of the eye.

Rod cell

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.
