Which letter indicates the direction of incoming light in a typical vertebrate?

Vision differs from the other senses in two interesting ways. Although most sensory receptor neurons are depolarized when the receive a stimulus, rod and cone cells become hyperpolarized when they receive light. When hyperpolarized, they stop releasing inhibitory neurotransmitter and allow the bipolar cells to fire. A second unusual aspect is that the vision circuit seems to be organized "backwards" -- the light must pass through the layers of ganglion and bipolar cells to reach the rods and cones.




A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. All of the directions are possible.
