Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence starts with bright light shining into the eye (4), followed by retinal cells generating an action potential (1). The optic nerve then conducts this action potential to the CNS (5), after which the visual cortex translates the action potential into a form that can be understood (3). Finally, the person becomes aware of the information (2).
