| retinal ganglion cell "loose" type | Brown-morphological (B-morpho) | In Fig. 3, cells A, C, E, and G are of the “tight” type, while B, D, and F are of the “loose” type. The dendritic trees of the loose type do not penetrate the internal plexiform layer as deeply as those of the tight type (Table 1 and Fig. 4). The loose-type
cells have fewer dendritic branches per main branch than the tight type (Table 1). the dendrites ramify (the “dendritic field”) may extend as much as 600-700 micrometers in the flat-mounted retina. The main dendrites of the loose type do not penetrate into the plexiform layer as steeply as do those of the tight type. The average size of dendritic field (Table 1) is 397 micrometers for loose-type cells and 282 micrometers for tight-type cells. | partially corresponds | | The ganglion cell described here may be the "loose" type (Brown, '65). | Leure-Dupree A.E. | Mihail Bota |

| retinal ganglion cell type I | Perry (Perry) | Type I cells have the largest cell bodies of all the classes (see table 1). The primary dendrites are generally smooth in appearance but sometimes have dendritic spines, and roughly halve their diameter at the first bifurcation (see plates 1, figures 1 and 2). The cells have 3 to 6 primary dendrites which enter the inner plexiform layer diagonally and appear to terminate in the outer part of inner plexiform layer. On many of these cells an axon could be identified and the axons were in general the thickest observed. | partially corresponds | | Leure-Dupree (1974) described only diffuse ganglion cells in the rat retina. Some of my type I and type II cells could appear as diffuse ganglion cells in vertical sections. | Perry V.H. | Mihail Bota |
