What cell makes up the optic nerve?
Not sure, since I'm working on the same assignment, but I think it is ganglion cells. the gagliano cell axons make a right angle turn at the inner face of the retina then leave the posterior aspect of the eye as the thick optic nerve. page 553 marieb&hoehn axons from the ganglion cells run along the internal surface of the retina and converge posteriorly to form the optic nerve. pg 489 human anatomy 5th ed marieb,mallatt,wilhelm
What is the path of light from the outside of the eye to the retina?
Qustion:The correct pathway for impulses leaving the retina? My answer: photoreceptors, ganglion cells, bipolar cells, and optic nerve.
What is a group of nerve cells called?
A group of nerve cells all together is called a ganglion. These nerve cells are linked by synapses and attach to a nerve fiber.
Another name for a bundle of nerve fibers is what?
It is called a dendrite.~
Clusters of many nerve cells are known as?
A cluster of many nerve cells outside the central nervous system is known as a ganglion (plural ganglia). A cluster of nerve cells within the central nervous system is known as a nucleus (plural nuclei).
What cells form the optic nerve?
Retinal ganglion cells.
The optic nerve is composed of axons of?
ganglion cells
What nerve is composed of axons of the ganglion cells and transmits action potentials the thalamus of the brain?
Optic nerve
What type of nerve is the optic nerve?
ganglion cells
Which neuron layers of an axon form the optic nerve?
There are three layers of neurons in the retina. The axons of GANGLION CELLS form the optic nerves.
