Summary Introduction

To determine: The sequence in which information passes through the optic nerve, bipolar cells, rods and cones, and ganglion cells in the vertebrate eye.

Introduction: The eye is a visual organ, having the ability to receive and process visual information. It can detect and convert light into electrochemical impulses which are transmitted to the brain through optic nerves which result into the formation of an image on the retina which is a part of an eye. The human eye consists of iris, cornea, pupil, lens, retina, and light sensitive receptor proteins such as rhodopsin.

To what features of the visual world do simple and complex cells of the mammalian visual cortex respond? How do these cells differ?
Include a 5-10 sentence explanation of how the sheep’s eye senses light and relays that data to the brain to interpret visual information.  Some pieces to consider:  What path does the light travel? What structures and pigments does it interact with? How does the signal travel to the brain?  Where in the brain is the data processed? How is this different in the high light vs low light? How might the sheep’s vision differ from our own?
The function of the vertebrate eye is unusual compared with other processes found within the body. For example, the direction in which sensory information flows is actually opposite to the path that light takes through the retina. Explain the sequence of events involved in the movement of light and information through the structures of the eye and explain why they move in opposite directions. Compare this sequence to the functioning of the Mollusk eye.
