Preferred term

Retinal Photoreceptor Cell Outer Segment  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • The light sensitive outer portion of a retinal rod or a cone photoreceptor cell. The outer segment contains a stack of disk membranes laden with photoreceptive pigments (RETINAL PIGMENTS). The outer segment is connected to the inner segment by a PHOTORECEPTOR CONNECTING CILIUM.
