Which the correct order of passing information of light stimuli among cells in the retina? ganglion cell → bipolar cells → photoreceptor photoreceptor → amacrine cells → ganglion cell horizontal cell photoreceptor →ganglion cell Ophotoreceptor → bipolar cells → ganglion cell
How are Ca2+ channels involved in phototransduction? they cause neurotransmitter release even if no action potentials are produced are not affected by PDE activation in the outer segments when open, they lead to hyperpolarization in photoreceptors in darkness, they do not rely on CGMP levels The density of cones in the retina: is highest where cone outer segments increase in diameter is lowest where retinal blood vessels are absent is drastically less than that of rods in the fovea is indicative of what areas are associated with acuity The recycling of rhodopsin.
