Axons from the _____ Neurons Form the Optic Nerve

Question

Axons from the _____ neurons form the optic nerve.
A)ganglion
B)amacrine
C)bipolar
D)photoreceptor
E)horizontal

Accepted Answer

Ganglion cells are the final output neurons in the retina that transmit visual information to the brain. Their axons come together to form the optic nerve, which carries visual signals from the eye to the brain. Amacrine, bipolar, photoreceptor, and horizontal cells are all types of interneurons within the retina that modulate the visual signals before they are transmitted to the ganglion cells.
