The axons of all the ganglion cells in the retina converge at a point called the optic disc, also known as the blind spot. Here, they form the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. The optic disc lacks photoreceptors, which is why it is referred to as the blind spot in our visual field.

What cell makes up the optic nerve?

Not sure, since I'm working on the same assignment, but I think it is ganglion cells. the gagliano cell axons make a right angle turn at the inner face of the retina then leave the posterior aspect of the eye as the thick optic nerve. page 553 marieb&hoehn axons from the ganglion cells run along the internal surface of the retina and converge posteriorly to form the optic nerve. pg 489 human anatomy 5th ed marieb,mallatt,wilhelm

What part of the eye contains no rods or cones?

Many parts actually but if you're talking about the back of the eye (retina) then it would be the optic disk where all the ganglion cell axons exit the back of the eye to form the optic nerve.


Sympathetic nerves may leave the spinal cord at which vertebra?

Preganglionic sympathetic axons leave the spinal cord throughout the thoracic spine and the upper lumber spine (T1-L2).These preganglionic sympathetic axons exit the spinal canal within the anterior primary ramus and then quickly separate to travel via the white ramus communicans to the ipsilateral sympathetic trunk.


What are the differences between preganglionic and postganglionic neurons?

You have a really good question. Studying the nervous system can be overwhelming and quit confusing. Preganglionic Neurons come from the CNS to the Ganglion ( mass of neuron cell bodies and dendrites) and Postganglionic neurons leave the ganglion and head toward the effector organ ( smooth muscle, glands, etc..).

What does a pelvic splanchnic nerve contains?

Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.

Can you keep 2 female rabbits together if 1 is ready to have babies?

Yes, you can leave them together, but the pregnant female rabbit will eat her babies when they are born. So, you probably shouldn't leave them together.
