[Composition and synaptic organization of the internal plexiform layer of the sensory membrane of the eye in turtles].
Synaptic organization of the internal plexiform layer (IPL) of the retina has been studied electron microscopically in two aquatic and two land Chelonia species. Certain signs in common of the IPL structure have been revealed, they are similar with those in other Vertebrata, as well as common peculiarities inherent in Chelonia of all the four species studied. Any species-specific differences are not detected. In the land Chelonia, unlike the aquatic Chelonia, a relative content of the amacrinal cell synapses is higher in serial combinations. The ratio of the amacrinal cell synapses to all bipolar neurocyte synapses is within the limits 3.1-4.1.
