Chapter 15, Problem 16RAC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Two major neuron types are present in the middle and inner layers of the neural layer of the retina. The two neuron types are:
- Bipolar cells.
- Ganglion cell.
The axons from the ganglion cells pass over the inner surface of the retina except in the area of fovea centralis. This axon gets converged at the optic disk and exits the eye as the optic nerve.
