Photoreceptors relay visual information to the brain through which of the following types of cells?

• A. Bipolar cells
• B. Auditory hair cells
• C. Olfactory receptor cells
• D. Taste receptor cells

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that photoreceptors are specialized cells in the retina of the eye that detect light and convert it into neural signals.
2. Recognize that these neural signals need to be transmitted to the brain for visual processing, which involves intermediate cells in the retina.
3. Identify the types of cells involved in relaying signals from photoreceptors: bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and others.
4. Know that bipolar cells act as the direct intermediaries between photoreceptors and ganglion cells, transmitting the visual information onward.
5. Conclude that among the options given, bipolar cells are the correct type of cells that relay visual information from photoreceptors to the brain.
