Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Retina: a light sensitive layer that lines the interior of the eye. It is composed of light sensitive cells known as rods and cones. The human eye contains about 125 million rods, which are necessary for seeing in dim light. Cones, on the other hand, function best in bright light.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 2 types of photoreceptors in the retina: rods and cones. The rods are most sensitive to light and dark changes, shape and movement and contain only one type of light-sensitive pigment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The retina’s inner limiting membrane (ILM) is composed of laterally contacting Muller cell synaptic boutons and other basement membrane parts. The ILM is the retina’s inner surface bordering the vitreous humor and thereby forming a diffusion barrier between the neural retina and vitreous humor.

Detailed explanation-4: -The inner layer is the retina, which lines the back two-thirds of the eyeball.
