Which of the following sequences correctly indicates the pathway of nerve impulses on their way from the eye to the brain?
A) ganglion cells, bipolar cells, photoreceptor cells, optic nerve
B) bipolar cells, receptor cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve
C) photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve
D) photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, optic nerve, ganglion cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of information flow in the retina is photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) > bipolar cells > ganglion cells > optic nerve. Option C shows the correct sequence. Option A is incorrect because ganglion cells should receive information from bipolar cells, which in turn should receive information from photoreceptor cells. Option B is incorrect because receptor cells are not a specific type of cell in the retina. Option D is incorrect because ganglion cells should receive information from bipolar cells before transmitting the signal to the optic nerve.
