Question

Place the following retinal cell ganglion cell axon pathway in order.

A) Bipolar cells → Rod cells → Cone cells → Ganglion cells → Optic nerve
B) Cone cells → Bipolar cells → Ganglion cells → Rod cells → Optic nerve
C) Rod cells → Bipolar cells → Cone cells → Ganglion cells → Optic nerve
D) Ganglion cells → Cone cells → Rod cells → Bipolar cells → Optic nerve

Answer 1

The correct sequence for the visual signal pathway in the retina is from cone and rod cells to bipolar cells, then to ganglion cells, and finally through the optic nerve to the brain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order for the retinal cell ganglion cell axon pathway is:

1. Cone cells and Rod cells
2. Bipolar cells
3. Ganglion cells
4. Optic nerve

Visual signals start at the photoreceptors, which are the cone and rod cells; these cells respond to light and send the signals to the bipolar cells. The bipolar cells, in turn, relay these signals to the ganglion cells, which then send the information through their axons that form the optic nerve, carrying the visual information to the brain.
