The cones in the eye are

(C) Associated with higher visual acuity than the rods > The rods and cones, which are next to the choroid, synapse with bipolar cells, and the bipolar cells synapse with ganglion cells. The axons of the ganglion cells converge and leave the eye as the optic nerve.> Horizontal cells connect receptor cells to the other receptor cells in the outer plexiform layer.> Amacrine cells connect ganglion cells to one another in the inner plexiform layer.> They have no axons, and their processes make both pre- and postsynaptic connections with neighboring neural elements.
