Question
Chapter 16.4, Problem 17WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The diagram and labeling of the three primary layers of the neurons that covers the retina.
Introduction:
Neurons are the primary structural unit of the nervous system. these are also called nerve cells or nerve fibers. Several bundles of these nerve cells form a nerve that conducts nerve impulses from the receptors or to the effectors.

Name the two types of sensory cells present in retina.
a) Based upon how the neural membrane functions, briefly explain how electrical
stimulation can cause a neuron to generate an action potential. Describe in one
sentence a type of action potential that can be generated by electrical stimulation, but
that cannot be generated by synaptic inputs.
b) The central part of the retina consists largely of cones, which are responsible for
colour vision in normal sight. However, presently available retinal prostheses are not
able to reliably provide a perception of colour for people implanted with these devices.
Explain why people with a retinal prosthesis are currently unable to reliably perceive
colour.
