Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photoreceptors are the cells in the retina that detect light and convert it into neural signals. These signals are then sent to the bipolar cells, which modify the signal and send it on to the ganglion cells. The ganglion cells send the final output of the retina to the brain for visual processing. Amacrine and horizontal cells are also involved in processing visual information in the retina, but their role is to modify and refine signals within specific layers of the retina, rather than transmitting signals from one layer to another.
