Layer that sends inormation along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe?
The layer responsible for sending information along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe is the ganglion cell layer in the retina. Ganglion cells receive visual information from bipolar cells and amacrine cells before transmitting it via their axons through the optic nerve to the brain for further processing in the occipital lobe.
What Axons from ganglion cells make up?
Axons from ganglion cells make up the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. These ganglion cells receive input from photoreceptors through bipolar and amacrine cells, processing visual signals before sending them as electrical impulses along their axons. The optic nerve ultimately conveys these signals to the visual cortex, where they are interpreted as images.
What is the name for a retinal cell?
The retina is made of several layers of cells that come in five major flavors. These cells are the photoreceptors (rods and cones), bipolar cells, ganglion cells, amacrine cells, and horizontal cells.
How does the eye work with the other body systems to keep the body healthy?
Your eye travels the information to the brain so your alert of what happens.
Why can humans not see infrared radiation?
Based on evolution it has never been necessary for our existence so we would not have developed this. Others that benefit from it have, like the kestrel, and a species of shrimp for example can see into the ultraviolet spectrum.
Where are bipolar amacrine and ganglion cells located?
Bipolar cells are located in the inner nuclear layer of the retina, while amacrine cells are found in the inner plexiform layer. Ganglion cells are located in the ganglion cell layer, which is the innermost layer of the retina.
The cells of the retina in which action potentials are generated are the?
The cells of the retina that generate action potentials are the ganglion cells. They receive input from the bipolar cells and amacrine cells, and their axons form the optic nerve that transmits visual information to the brain.
What words end with -crine?
These are from the Scrabble dictionary: apocrine autocrine eccrine endocrine exocrine holocrine merocrine neuroendocrine paracrine quinacrine tacrine These are from Webster's Second International dictionary: amacrine crine endocrine exocrine holocrine Locrine Lucrine nacrine quinacrine scrine volucrine
What neurons are there in the eye?
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).

When using an optical coherence tomography what is the first layer of the retina that is scanned?
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

What does retina consists of?
The retina is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye, consisting primarily of photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones that detect light and color. It also contains several layers of neurons, including bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and horizontal and amacrine cells, which process visual information. Additionally, the retina is supported by a layer of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that helps nourish and protect the photoreceptors. Together, these components enable the conversion of light into electrical signals for visual perception.
What information does the eye send to the brain?
Nerve connections. There are different types of photoreceptors in the eye. Rods are able to see black and white, and cones are able to see color. The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain.
What are the the two cells in the retina?
Specialized cells are those that perform a specific function in the body. They have undergone many changes in order to be best suited to perform that specific function.Specialized cells include:Cardiac cells of the heartNeurons of the brainSarcomeres of the musclesOsteoblasts of the bones
What are the ten layers of the retina?
Inner limiting membrane - Müller cell footplatesNerve fiber layer - axons of the ganglion cell nucleiGanglion cell layer - contains nuclei of ganglion cells, the axons of which become the optic nerve fibers for messages.Inner plexiform layer - contains the synapse between the bipolar cell axons and the dendrites of the ganglion and amacrine cells.Inner nuclear layer - contains the nuclei and surrounding cell bodies (perikarya) of the bipolar cells.Outer plexiform layer - projections of rods and cones ending in the rod spherule and cone pedicle, respectively. These make synapses with dendrites of bipolar In the macular region, this is known as the Fiber layer of Henle.Outer nuclear layer - cell bodies of rods and conesExternal limiting membrane - layer that separates the inner segment portions of the photoreceptors from their cell nucleusPhotoreceptor layer - rods/conesRetinal pigment epithelium - single layer of cuboidal cells
