Which cells for visual processing are located closest to the back of the retina?

Correct answer: C. Rods and cones

  • A. Subliminal cells
  • B. Ganglion cells
  • C. Rods and cones
  • D. Bipolar cells

Explanation

Rods and cones lie closest to the back, or outer wall, of the retina, where they receive light before signals pass toward bipolar and ganglion cells. The neural signal therefore travels through the retinal layers in the reverse direction from the incoming light.
