NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Their axons gather at the optic disk, where they become myelinated and form the optic nerve. As their message is conveyed over a significant distance, it is encoded as trains of spikes (also known as ‘action potentials’, or ‘neural impulses’). Ganglion cell dendrites branch in the inner plexiform layer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ganglion cells are the final output neurons of the vertebrate retina. Ganglion cells collect information about the visual world from bipolar cells and amacrine cells (retinal interneurons). This information is in the form of chemical messages sensed by receptors on the ganglion cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -A retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is a type of neuron located near the inner surface (the ganglion cell layer) of the retina of the eye. It receives visual information from photoreceptors via two intermediate neuron types: bipolar cells and retina amacrine cells.
