Not sure, since I'm working on the same assignment, but I think it is ganglion cells.
the gagliano cell axons make a right angle turn at the inner face of the retina then leave the posterior aspect of the eye as the thick optic nerve. page 553 marieb&hoehn
axons from the ganglion cells run along the internal surface of the retina and converge posteriorly to form the optic nerve. pg 489 human anatomy 5th ed marieb,mallatt,wilhelm
What else can I help you with?
How does the message from the nerve cells in the eyes reach the brain?
Through electrical impulses travelling along nerves and neurons at speeds of over 120 mph. They travel from the occipital nerves in the backs of the eyes to the occipital lobe, which is located in the back of your brain.
Is the longest cell the nerve cell of the giant squid?
No, the nerve cell of a giraffe is typically considered the longest cell, as it can reach up to 9 feet in length. The nerve cell of the giant squid can be long, but not as long as the nerve cell of a giraffe.
What is the most common type of phospholipids in the cell membrane of nerve cells?
The most common type of phospholipids in the cell membrane of nerve cells are phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, which together make up a majority of the lipid bilayer. These phospholipids help maintain the structural integrity and fluidity of the cell membrane, which is crucial for proper nerve cell function.
What role do the nodes of Ranvier play in the functioning of nerve cells?
The nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath that cover nerve cells. They help in the rapid transmission of electrical signals along the nerve cell by allowing the signal to "jump" from one node to the next, speeding up the process of nerve cell communication.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?
Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.
What is made up of special nerve cells that are connected to rods and cones?
the answer to that questions is the optic nerve

What are the special nerve cells that make up the back wall of the eyeball?
optic nerve cells.
How does the message from the nerve cells in the eyes reach the brain?
Through electrical impulses travelling along nerves and neurons at speeds of over 120 mph. They travel from the occipital nerves in the backs of the eyes to the occipital lobe, which is located in the back of your brain.
Where does the optic nerve end up after it leaves the eye?
The optic nerve ends up connecting to the brain at a structure called the optic chiasm, where fibers from both eyes cross over. From the optic chiasm, the nerve continues to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe at the back of the brain, where visual information is processed.
When fluid builds up in the eye and causes damage to the optic nerve and the loss of vision the disorder is called?
High optic nerve pressure is associated with high CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) in the brain. The condition has two names: idiopathic Intercranial hypertension, or Pseudotumor Cerebri. When the CSF level in the brain spikes, it causes fluid to back up an build up in the optic nerves. Pressure in the optic nerve and in the brain can be decreased with diuretics(such as Diamox). Pressure in the brain can be relieved by spinal taps, or a surgical procedure where a shunt is inserted into the brain. The fluid in the optic nerves can be decreased by a surgical procedure called Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration.
What does the optic nerve look like?
It is made up of about 1 million small individual thread-like nerve fibers that come from the retina.
Is the longest cell the nerve cell of the giant squid?
No, the nerve cell of a giraffe is typically considered the longest cell, as it can reach up to 9 feet in length. The nerve cell of the giant squid can be long, but not as long as the nerve cell of a giraffe.
What happens when an image forms on the retina?
I'm guessing you mean its transmission to the brain. Each receptor cell on the retina is connected to a nerve that transmits the signal to the brain. The brain processes all the optic nerve signals to form the image in our mind.
Is a nerve a cell?
Nerves are made up of cells.
What is the cell that make up the brainspinalcordand nerves?
The cell that makes up the brain and spinal cord is mainly the neuron (nerve cell). There are also other types of cells called glial cells, and within glial cells, there are astro glia, oligodendroglia and micro glia.
A structure which can change light into nerve impulses is the a.lens b.optic nerve c.cone cell d. brain?
c. cone cell........... cone cells are part of the retina which makes up the back and sides of the main chamber of your eye. they are a photreceptor responsible for color and high vision acuity. they convert light energy into nerve impulses
