Ganglion Cell (Retina)

Neurons located in the retina whose axons form the optic nerve, transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain.

Key Functions:

• Receives input from bipolar and amacrine cells.
• Generates action potentials that transmit visual information to the brain.
• Their axons form the optic nerve.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Neuron (type of)
• Retina (located in)
• Optic Nerve (forms)
• Brain (sends visual information to)
• Nervous System (part of visual system)
