Definitions:

Retina

The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into neural signals.

Rods and Cones

Photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for vision in low light (rods) and color vision and detail (cones).

Bipolar Cells

Bipolar cells are a type of retinal neuron that transmit signals from the photoreceptors (cones and rods) to ganglion cells, which then transmit visual information to the brain.

Ganglion Cells

Neurons located in the retina that receive visual information from photoreceptors and transmit it to the brain.
