Which part of the eye is where images are converted to nerve impulses? answer choices
A
Retina
B
Cornea
C
Optic Nerve
D
Lens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Retina: The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina converts light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve.

Detailed explanation-2: -The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina instantly converts light, or an image, into electrical impulses. The retina then sends these impulses, or nerve signals, to the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -For visual sense, the nerve impulse is generated by depolarization. The optic nerve is the nerve which carries the visual impulse from the eye to the optic lobe of the forebrain. During depolarization, the charge within the cell rapidly shifts from negative to positive.

Detailed explanation-4: -The retina is a thin layer of nerve tissue at the back of your eye that senses the light. Specialized cells called rods and cones convert light energy into nerve signals that travel through the optic nerve to the brain.

Detailed explanation-5: -The retina contains millions of light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) and other nerve cells that receive and organize visual information. Your retina sends this information to your brain through your optic nerve, enabling you to see.
