Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the structure of the retina, which is a layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for receiving light and converting it into neural signals.

Identify the main types of cells in the retina: photoreceptors (rods and cones), bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, and ganglion cells.

Recognize the role of photoreceptors, which are the first layer of cells that detect light. Rods are responsible for vision in low light, while cones are responsible for color vision.

Understand that bipolar cells are the next layer, which receive signals from photoreceptors and transmit them to ganglion cells.

Learn that horizontal cells are found between photoreceptors and bipolar cells. They integrate and regulate input from multiple photoreceptor cells, helping to refine the visual signal before it is passed to bipolar cells.
