Which of the following types of cells are primarily located in the brain's occipital lobe?
A
Pyramidal cells
B
Oligodendrocytes
C
Purkinje cells
D
Photoreceptor cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the function of the occipital lobe. The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information.
Next, identify the types of cells listed in the options and their primary functions or locations in the body.
Pyramidal cells are primarily found in the cerebral cortex and are involved in motor control and cognitive functions.
Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system, responsible for forming myelin sheaths around neurons.
Purkinje cells are large neurons found in the cerebellum, involved in motor coordination. Photoreceptor cells, however, are located in the retina and are responsible for detecting light and visual information, which is processed by the occipital lobe.
