Light travels through the cornea to the aqueous humor, from the aqueous humor to the pupil, from the pupil to the lens, from the lens to the vitreous humor, and finally to the rods and cones of the retina.

From the retina, the message is carried via the optic nerve, to the optic chiasma, and finally the optic tract. The optic tract delivers the message to the primary visual cortex of the occipital lobe.

What is the path of light from the outside of the eye to the retina?

Light enters the eye through the cornea, then passes through the pupil and the lens. The light is focused and projected onto the retina at the back of the eye where it is processed by the photoreceptor cells and transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.


What contains photoreceptors on the inner posterior portion of eye?

The retina, which is located on the inner posterior portion of the eye, contains photoreceptors called rods and cones. These photoreceptors are responsible for detecting and converting light into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain for visual processing.


what changes light to an impulse in the eye?

When light enters the eye, it passes through the cornea, then the lens, and ultimately reaches the retina at the back of the eye. Here, light triggers a chemical reaction in the cells of the retina called photoreceptors, specifically in rods and cones, which convert the light into electrical impulses that are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.


The visual pathway to the occipital lobe of the brain consists most simply of a chain of five neurons beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina name them and note their location in the pat?

Photoreceptor cells in the retina. Bipolar cells in the retina. Ganglion cells in the retina. Optic nerve fibers in the optic nerve. Lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus. Optic radiation fibers in the brain to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe.

What is the neural pathway for the eye?

The neural pathway for vision starts with photoreceptors in the retina that send signals through the optic nerve to the brain's visual cortex via the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus. The visual cortex then processes and interprets these signals to create the sensation of vision.


What part of eye send message to brain so that a person can see?

The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.

yes there are the neural elemnts< no dip stupid what are they

Retina.


What layer of the eye converts visible light into nerve impulses?

I am pretty sure it is the retina.The retina not only is used for focusing but also The sides of the ''retina'' are responsible for our peripheral vision. The center area, called the macula, is ''used'' for our fine central vision and color vision. Are you referring to optical nerve impulses?


Which part of the eye holds photoreceptors?

Retina


The layer of the eye where photoreceptors are located?

The transparent inner neural layer of the RETINA


How does light travel to the cerebral cortex?

Light enters the eye and is focused by the lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina contains light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors that convert light into electrical signals. These signals then travel through the optic nerve to the visual cortex in the brain, which is located in the cerebral cortex, where they are processed and interpreted as vision.


Which cells comprise the chain of five cells in the visual pathway beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina?

The chain of cells in the visual pathway from photoreceptor cell of the retina includes bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve fibers, and lateral geniculate nucleus cells in the thalamus. These cells work together to transmit visual information from the retina to the visual cortex in the brain.


Which structure of the eye contains the photoreceptors?

no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.
