retinaalinen
Retinaalinen is a Finnish term that translates to "retinal" in English, referring to anything related to the retina of the eye. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptor cells, rods and cones, which convert light into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by other nerve cells in the retina and transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, where they are interpreted as vision.
Conditions affecting the retina are often described using the adjective "retinaalinen." For example, a "retinaalinen verenvuoto"
Medical professionals might discuss "retinaalinen tutkimus" (retinal examination) to assess the health of this crucial part
