Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The optic nerve carries visual information from the retina to the brain. Rhodopsin and photopsins are both light-sensitive proteins found in the retina, but they do not play a direct role in carrying information to the brain. The blind spot is the location on the retina where the optic nerve exits, and therefore no visual information is processed in that area.
