Which two sections of the eye act to focus light onto the retina?
Answer
  • Corenea and lens
  • Cornea and pupil
  • Lens and iris
  • Pupil and iris

Question 6

Question

Question 10

Question
What is the function of bipolar cells?
Answer
  • Transfer information from the photoreceptors to the ganglion cells
  • Act as a photoreceptor
  • Transfer information to the brain
  • Allow ganglion cells to communicate with one another

Question
What is the function of horizontal cells?
Answer
  • Allows adjacent retina cells to communicate
  • Acts as a photoreceptor
  • Transfers information from photoreceptors to ganglion cells
  • Transfers information to the brain

Question 12

Question
What is the function of ganglion cells?
Answer
  • Transfer information to the brain
  • Transfer information from photoreceptors to bipolar cells
  • Enable adjacent retinal cells to communicate
  • Act as photoreceptors
