Question

in the visual pathway providing sensory action potentials to the brain, the first cells that are capable of initiating action potentials are multiple choice cone cells. rod cells. lateral geniculate cells. ganglion cells. bipolar cells.

Explanation:

In the visual pathway, rod and cone cells are photoreceptors that convert light - energy into graded potentials, not action potentials. Bipolar cells also generate graded potentials. Lateral geniculate cells are in the thalamus and receive input from ganglion cells. Ganglion cells are the first in the visual pathway to generate action potentials.

Answer:

D. ganglion cells
