because it has millions of nervous cells that line its interior that transform the stimuli into info captured by the brain, brought by the optic nerve. without the retina being the first layer, the info, would not make it to the brain ('cause it wouldn't pass through the other layers)
What else can I help you with?
What is the light sensitive membrane of the eye called?
a flat, colored, ring-shaped membrane of the eye is called the iris
What is the the only dry membrane?
Cutaneous Membrane
What contracting membrane regulates the amount of light entering the eye?
The iris is the contracting membrane that regulates the amount of light entering the eye. The muscles in the iris adjust the size of the pupil to control the amount of light that reaches the retina.
What membrane of the eye serves a similar function to a photovoltaic cell?
The retina in the eye serves a similar function to a photovoltaic cell. It converts light energy into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain for visual processing. Just like how a photovoltaic cell converts light into electricity, the retina converts light into neural impulses for vision.
What is the innermost layer of the eye called?
The inner rear surface of the eye which contains photoreceptors it called the retina.
What is the light sensitive membrane of the eye called?
a flat, colored, ring-shaped membrane of the eye is called the iris
What is the light sensitive membrane at the back of the eye?
It's called a retina.
What is the the only dry membrane?
Cutaneous Membrane
What is retinal hemorrhage?
Retinal hemorrhage is the abnormal bleeding of the blood vessels in the retina, the membrane in the back of the eye.
What is the name of the membrane of the eye that contains nerve cells?
The membrane of the eye that contains nerve cells is called the retina. It is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye and is responsible for converting light into neural signals, which are then sent to the brain for processing. The retina contains photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones, which are essential for vision.
Where are rods in the eye located?
Rods and cones are located in the retina of the eye. There are more rods than cones, and rods are involved with seeing at night or in low light situations.
What does Kearns-Sayre syndrome do to the eye?
Kearns-Sayre syndrome causes ophthalmoplegia along with loss of pigment in the retina, the light-sensitive membrane lining the eye
What part of the eye focuses the light that comes through the eye?
The answer to this question is the retina .......... It's the retina because everything is upside down, bends, goes up to the brain and flips it around........and that is why the light is always focused on the retina
What has the author George Hunsley Fielding written?
George Hunsley Fielding has written: 'On a new membrane in the eye' -- subject(s): Anatomy, Anatomy & histology, Retina, Eye
Where is rhodopsin found?
Also called visual purple rhodopsin is found in the retina of the eye within the phospholipid membrane of rod cells.
What contracting membrane regulates the amount of light entering the eye?
The iris is the contracting membrane that regulates the amount of light entering the eye. The muscles in the iris adjust the size of the pupil to control the amount of light that reaches the retina.
What is the back of the eye called?
The back of the eye is called the retina. It is a light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye and contains cells that respond to light.
