Globe: Retina
The retina, innermost tunic and light sensing part of the eye, is embryologically a part of the central nervous system, as is the optic nerve that connects the retina to the brain. The sensory retina consists of a multilayered, photosensitive, neural retina and its underlying, non-visual pigment epithelium, which absorbs light, thus reducing glare. 800x
