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).

What else can I help you with?
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the?
A+ students: the answer is optic nerve.
Can neurons be seen without a microscope?
No, neurons cannot be seen with the naked eye because of their small size. They are typically only visible under a microscope due to their microscopic dimensions.
What are the special neurons in your eye CALLED that help you see color?
The special neurons in the eye that help us see color are called cone cells. These cells are responsible for detecting and processing different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive color.
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.
How do sensory neurons and monitor neurons differ?
Sensory neurons carry sensory information from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the body to control movement. Monitor neurons are specialized neurons that help regulate and coordinate the activity of other neurons in the nervous system.
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the what?
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the optic nerve.
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.

The special neurons in the eye that help us see color are called cone cells. These cells are responsible for detecting and processing different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive color.
What neurons have exactly two projections from the cell body?
Bipolar neurons have exactly two projections from the cell body: one axon and one dendrite. These neurons are commonly found in sensory systems such as the retina of the eye and the olfactory system in the nose.
How many neurons are there in your eyes?
The human retina, which is part of the eye, contains approximately 100 million photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) and several other types of neurons, including bipolar cells and ganglion cells. In total, the retina has around 1 to 1.5 million ganglion cells, which send visual information to the brain. While the exact number of neurons in the entire eye varies, it's estimated that there are several million neurons involved in processing visual information.
Are there bipolar cells in the ciliary ganglion?
No, bipolar cells are a type of neuron found in the retina of the eye, not in the ciliary ganglion. The ciliary ganglion primarily contains postganglionic parasympathetic neurons that innervate the muscles controlling the shape of the lens in the eye.
