Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the correct orderof the structures through which light passes after entering the eye?
A
Lens, pupil, cornea, retina
B
Pupil, cornea, lens, retina
C
Cornea, retina, pupil, lens
D
Cornea, pupil, lens, retina
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -From the cornea, the light passes through the pupil. The iris, or the colored part of your eye, controls the amount of light passing through. From there, it then hits the lens. This is the clear structure inside the eye that focuses light rays onto the retina.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within the retina, information travels from the photoreceptors to the bipolar cells and then on to the ganglion cells. At each stage along this most direct visual pathway, the responses are modified by the activation of lateral connections involving horizontal and amacrine cells.
