Identify the sequence that correctly traces the transmission of visual information from the eye to the brain.
A) retina, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve, thalamus, visual cortex
B) retina, optic nerve, ganglion cells, visual cortex, thalamus
C) retina, optic nerve, thalamus, bipolar cells, visual cortex
D) retina, ganglion cells, optic nerve, bipolar cells, thalamus, visual cortex

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of visual information transmission is from the retina to the bipolar cells and then to the ganglion cells. The optic nerve carries this information to the thalamus, which is responsible for sorting and relaying sensory information to the appropriate areas of the brain. From the thalamus, the visual information is sent to the visual cortex, where it is perceived and processed. This sequence can be remembered using the acronym "RBGOTV" (retina, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve, thalamus, visual cortex), which corresponds to choice A.
