Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the what?
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the optic nerve.
Do some neurons lack an axon and communicate only with adjacent neurons?
If they are neurons they have an axon, some cell types do communicate using gap-junctions. Yes, some complex sensory organs ( in the retina and organ of Corti for example) do not have axons. These cells liberate transmitter from their soma directly onto postsynaptic neurons in proportion to the membrane potential change they experience.
What neurons have exactly two projections from the cell body?
Bipolar neurons have exactly two projections from the cell body: one axon and one dendrite. These neurons are commonly found in sensory systems such as the retina of the eye and the olfactory system in the nose.
Location in the eye where light energy changes to electric energy?
Light energy is converted into electrical energy in the retina of the eye. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors (rods and cones) that detect light and convert it into electrical signals that can be transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
Layer of nerve tissue made up of sensory neurons that respond to light?
The retina is the layer of nerve tissue in the back of the eye that contains sensory neurons called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones, respond to light and convert it into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, allowing us to perceive visual information.
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the what?
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the optic nerve.
Where do we find bipolar neurons?
Bipolar neurons are found in the retina and olfactory nerve in the nose.
The layer of photoreceptors and neurons at the back of the eye is called the?
retina
What Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the?
optic nerve peace.love.faith
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the?
A+ students: the answer is optic nerve.
Bipolar neuron are commonly?
Bipolar neurons are found in the retina and olfactory nerve in the nose.
Where are bipolar neurons found?
Bipolar neurons are primarily found in specialized sensory organs, such as in the retina of the eye and in the olfactory epithelium of the nose. They are responsible for carrying sensory information from these organs to the central nervous system.
What type of stimulus is more important causing action potential give reasons?
It depends on the neuron. Some neurons respond better to a pressure stimulus or temperature, light, sound ect. For example the neurons in the retina of the eye, they respond to photons of light, but do not respond to pressure or sound.
What organs are needed in the nervous system?
The brain, spinal cord, retina, sensory neurons, ganglia, and the nerves
What is the exit point of neurons from the retina of the eyeball has no rods or cones What is this exit point called?
The blind spot
Do some neurons lack an axon and communicate only with adjacent neurons?
If they are neurons they have an axon, some cell types do communicate using gap-junctions. Yes, some complex sensory organs ( in the retina and organ of Corti for example) do not have axons. These cells liberate transmitter from their soma directly onto postsynaptic neurons in proportion to the membrane potential change they experience.
Neurons dectecting stimuli in the skin and eyes are?
In the skin, neurons that detect stimuli are called mechanoreceptors for touch, nociceptors for pain, and thermoreceptors for temperature. In the eyes, neurons that detect light stimuli are called photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones located in the retina.
