Specialized cells, called retinal ganglions, together with bipolar cells, amacrine cells, and horizontal cells, carry the visual information to the optic nerve (cranial nerve 2). This nerve then carries the information from the retina at the back of the eye to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe (back of the head).

Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the?
A+ students: the answer is optic nerve.
What are the special neurons in your eye CALLED that help you see color?
they are called cones :)
What are the two types of nervous tissue?
neurons (brain cells) & neuroglia (support)---------------------------------------------------Multipolar Neurons (3+ processes) They are the most common neuron type in humans (more than 99% of neurons belong to this class) and the major neuron type in the CNS Bipolar Neurons Bipolar neurons are spindle-shaped, with a dendrite at one end and an axon at the other . An example can be found in the light-sensitive retina of the eye. Unipolar Neurons Sensory neurons have only a single process or fibre which divides close to the cell body into two main branches (axon and dendrite). Because of their structure they are often referred to as unipolar neurons.
A knee-jerk reflex employs motor neurons and what?
it employs sensory and motor neurons
What parts of the eye are involved with the inability to see. this is dealing with Blind spots?
The parts that are involved are the retina, brain cells called neurons, photo receptors, the optic nerves, and the iris. They function like a camera. How? Well the optic nerve head, neurons collected together passing as a whole through our photo receptors and it forms our optic nerve; they work as messengers to our brain. Once our eye sees light, the neurons transfers it to our brain as a picture. So when our blind spots kick in that means that there are no neurons passing to our photo receptors in that area, as in nothings being transmitted to our brain so there's no picture. Um... i hoped i was a good help to you XD
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
The layer of photoreceptors and neurons at the back of the eye is called the?
retina
Would the ratio of motor neurons to muscle fibers be the greatest at the muscle that control the eye?
Yes, th ration of motor neurons to muscle fibers are greatest for the muscles that control eye.

What are bipolar neurons?
Bipolar neurons is a neuron that has two extensions. They are specialized sensory neurons and are part of your sense of smell, sight, taste, hearing, and vestibular functions.
Where do the visual neurons exit the eye?
The Blind Spot [source: my psych book]

they are called cones :)
What are tonically active neurons?
Tonic refers to a slow, continuous action. When referenced to tonically active neurons, it is regarded as a continuous firing/discharging at the synapse. Continuous action potentials produced from a neuron qualify it as a tonically active neuron. A great example is fixation neurons in the frontal eye fields and the superior colliculus; when staring directly at a que, these neurons are continuously firing (tonically active), when gaze is diverted from this fixation point during a saccadic eye movement, firing in these neurons show little or no activity. When the short saccade stops, these neurons become tonically active once again (firing consistently.
