Question

Light enters the retina through the layers of the neural retina in this order ______; however, information is processed in the retina in this order _______ .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Light gets to the retina by passing through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.

The optic pathway includes the retina, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic radiations, and occipital cortex. Damage along the optic pathway causes a variety of visual field defects. The type of field defect can help localize the lesion.

Answer 2

There is no short answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the layers that the light passes through when entering the retina can be listed as follows; The ganglion cell layer is the first layer that the light goes through, the second is inner synaptic layer, third one is bipolar cell layer, fourth is the outer synaptic layer and the last layer is the photoreceptor cell layer which contain the cells that transform the light signal to electrical signals by using rod and cone cells.

But the information that the light is processed in the retina happens in the following order; Photoreceptor cell layer , outer synaptic layer , bipolar cell layer, inner synaptic layer and the last layer is the ganglion cell layer.

I hope this answer helps.
