The neurone of the second order, which terminates in the 'neuropil' of the second ganglion (ganglion of the optic nerve).

The neurone of the third order, which terminates in the optic lobes of the brain by means of its neuraxons (the optic nerve).

In different phrasing we may say: Neurone groups accustomed to acting together have the tendency to work in unison.

Your neurone groups are accustomed to act in this way, so the sequence follows.

The place of juxtaposition of the end of one neurone against the beginning of another is called the synapse.
