The retina is the layer of nerve tissue in the back of the eye that contains sensory neurons called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones, respond to light and convert it into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, allowing us to perceive visual information.

What are the types of neurons that can be found in the external granular and external pyramidal layers of neocortex?
in external granular (layer 2) = stellate + small pyramidal neuronsin external pyramidal (layer 3) = medium pyramidal neurons

What is the difference between the internal granular layer at the sensory areas compared to the motor areas?
Internal granular layer is the 4th layer (from 6 horizontal layers of neocortex).sensory areas = also called "granular cortical areas" because they have many granule neurons in their well-developed layer 4motor areas = also called "agranular cortical areas" because they have less granule neurons in their thin layer 4
What layer of skin contains sensory receptors for touch?
The Dermis layer contains the sensory nerve fiber, so it is the Dermis layer that contains sensory receptors for touch.

What are cortical pyramidal neurons?
They are neurons that can be found in all six of cortical layers (except layer 1), and they are excitatory projection neurons.

The internal layer of the tissue in the heart is the epicardium?
Epicardium is the outer layer of heart tissue. When considered as part of the pericardium, it is the inner layer, continuous with the serial layer.
What is the thin layer of tissue on a mollusks shell?
The thin layer of tissue that covers the body of a mollusk is called the "mantle."
Functions of the nervous tissue?
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. It's main purpose is to gather, store, and respond to information and stimuli.
What is the outside layer of the skin called thin tissue or thick tissue?
Epithelial tissue
