Question

Rods and Cones of the retina are modified into______.

• A. Bipolar Neurons.
• B. Unipolar neurons
• C. Multipolar neurons
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Bipolar Neurons.

The correct option is A.

Explanation of correct option:

1. A bipolar neuron, also known as a bipolar cell, is a neuron with two extensions (one axon and one dendrite).
2. Many bipolar cells are sensory neurons with particular functions in the transfer of information.
3. Rods and cones are modified bipolar neurons that convert light energy into neural activity.

Explanation of incorrect options:

Options B:

1. Unipolar neurons have just one process, known as a neurite, that extends from the cell body.
2. After that, the neurite splits into dendritic and axonal processes.
3. They can be found in the ganglia of the spinal and cranial nerves.

Option C:

1. Multipolar neurons are a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites.
2. The autonomic ganglia are made up of multipolar neurons, which are the most frequent kinds of neurons in the CNS.
3. They have a single axon and a number of symmetrically radiating dendrites.

Final answer: Rods and Cones of the retina are modified into bipolar neurons.
