Starting from the inside of the eye (vitreous) and working toward the back of your head. In terms of cell types you have the 1) Ganglion cell layer 2) Amacrine layer 3) Bipolar cell layer 4) Horizontal cell layer 5) Photoreceptor cell layer 6) Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) In terms of smaller components of the neural retina you have 1) Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) Ganglion and Amacrine cell bodies 2) Inner Plexiform layer (IPL) Ganglion and Amacrine axons 3) Inner Nuclear layer (INL) Bi-polar and Horizontal cell bodies 4) Outer Plexiform layer (OPL) Bi-polar and Horizontal axons 5) Outer Nuclear layer (ONL) Photoreceptor cell bodies 6) Photoreceptor Outer segments 7) RPE

Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?
yes it is, and the optic nerve is attached to your brain.
What is the sensitive surface of the eye that acts like the film in a camera?
It's actually called the lens, which is in the cornea.
Where is the photoreceptor located?
the back portion of the eye
What is the innermost layer of the eye called?
The inner rear surface of the eye which contains photoreceptors it called the retina.
What body part is the eye connected to?
By the optic nerve, which is connected to the brain. The optic nerves takes nerve signals from the retina and sends it to the brain.
What is the part of the eye that receives optical images?
The retina.
Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?
yes it is, and the optic nerve is attached to your brain.
What part of the brain does optical illusion stimulate?
cerebellum is the part generating optical illusion,since opticnerve joining retina coincide with cerebellum
Where is disk reader on MacBook Pro?
If you're referring to the MacBook Pro's optical drive, those made mid-2012 or earlier and are non-Retina reside hidden either in the front or the side. MacBook Pro Retina versions don't have an optical drive.
What is a sense organ that detectes light?
Your eyes detect it, (retina) it is then sent down your optical nerve to the brain
What eye functions do not work when you are blind?
either the light sensitive cells in the retina are not working or the optical nerve is damaged
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?
Part of the eye that detects light and sends signal to brain?
The retina detects light and the optical nerve sends the signal to the brain.
What is retinine?
Retina is a part of eye.All the light rays reflect at retina and thus we can see.It has two pars1)Fovea2)Optical discFoveaIt is dip in eye directly opposite to lens.Optis discIt is point on retina where optic nerves enter retina.There are no rods and cones so it is called BLIND SPOT
How your human eye act like an optical intrument with varied focal length?
The lens in the eye flexes to focus light from different distances on the retina.
What causes nearlightedness?
Upon the assumption you meant "nearsightedness" here is the answer. Nearsightedness occurs when the physical length of the eye is greater than the optical length. This makes it more difficult for the eyes to focus light directly on the retina. If the light rays are not clearly focused on the retina, the images you see may be blurry.
What is the layer of photoreceptors?
the retina contains the rods and cones which sense the amount of light and different colors respectively.
