Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Light rays enter the convex cornea and begin to converge. An adjustment of light rays occurs as they pass through the pupil and lens. Change in the shape of the lens focuses light on the retina. The sensory retina contains the rods and cones (i.e., photoreceptor cells sensitive to stimulation from light). Photoreceptor cells send electrical potentials by way of the optic nerve to the brain.
