data from the photoreceptor are integrated in which of the following

a outer segment of the rod

b inner segment of the rod

c ganglion cell layer

d inner nuclear layer of the retina

e outer plexiform layer of the retina

dd

light must pass through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous humor before reaching the retina.
It must then pass through the layers of the retina to reach the photoreceptive layer of rods and cones.
Rods and cones ( outer nuclear layer of retina) have synoptic contacts on bipolar cells
( inner nuclear layer of the retina) that project to ganglion cells.
Axons from the ganglion cells converge at the optic disc to form the optic nerve.

Aa...?

because both outer segments of rods and cones ( inner layer of the renina) have synoptic contacts on bipolar cells ( inner nuclear layer of the retina) ...... >kaplan page 418 , figure iv-7-2

oops sorry i mean ...both outer segments of rods and cones ( outer nuclear layer of the renina)......typo

try again

so ...it is E

outer plexiform layer of the retina!!
....It consists of a dense network of synapses between inner nuclear layer, and photoreceptor cells from the outer nuclear layer.....

ans eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thanks zoh ...good question!
