Three distinct sets of layers in the lateral geniculate nucleus first receive input from the
A) bipolar cells.
B) horizontal cells.
C) ganglion cells.
D) photoreceptors.
E) amacrine cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ganglion cells send their output to the lateral geniculate nucleus, so option C is correct.

Answer: A and E
 The bipolar cells and amacrine cells are present in the retina, but not in the lateral geniculate nucleus. Thus options A and E are not correct.

Answer: D
 The photoreceptors are also present in the retina and do not send their output directly to the lateral geniculate nucleus. Thus option D is also not correct.
