Describe in detail how the light transduction process pathway to the eye, so that it can see an information from your smartphone!
The transduction process of converting light into neural signals sent to the central nervous system involves which of these steps? A. Bipolar Cells collect signals from Rods and Cones. B. The Optic Nerve carries signals about light from the Lateral Geniculate Nuclues to the Retinal Ganglion Cells. C. Retinal Ganglion Cells relay information to Rods and Cones. D. Light that reaches the eyes passes first through the Retina which focuses that light onto the Cornea.

In vision, The sympathetic system stimulates the ciliary muscle to contract resulting in decreased tension of zonal fibers on the lens Astigmatism occurs as a result of an eye that is too long Rods release more neurotransmitter when transducin is not activated by the dissociation of retinal and opsin Rods are concentrated in the fovea
Retinal detachment is prevelant in aged population, patients with diabetes and also can occur in response to injury to the eye. What is your opinion about retina repair and are there promising advances in the field. Make sure to include in your response the cells affected and how the sugery and the repair process happens.
Certain cells in the retina respond differently to the direction in which objects move. To understand how cells in the retina respond to different visual stimuli, the activity of a retinal ganglion cell was measured while a square moved across its visual field.
