Expert Solution
Step 1
Ans.
When the neurons have one neurite, it is called as unipolar (example - Invertebrates) but when they have more than one neurite attached, it is called bipolar. In case of rods and cones, dendrite and axon are there and hence, they synapse with bipolar type of cells.
These bipolar cells after synapse again synapse with Ganglion cells (a grey matter in the central nervous system).
Amacrine cells work in the inner plexiform layer and after bipolar and ganglion cells synapse, Amacrine comes at work.
