  2. Photoreceptor cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell

    Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye [7] Most vertebrate photoreceptors are located in the retina. The distribution of rods and cones (and classes thereof) in the retina is called the retinal mosaic. Each human retina has approximately 6 million cones and 120 million rods. [8]

  3. Rod cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_cell

    A rod cell is sensitive enough to respond to a single photon of light [11] and is about 100 times more sensitive to a single photon than cones. Since rods require less light to function than cones, they are the primary source of visual information at night (scotopic vision). Cone cells, on the other hand, require tens to hundreds of photons to ...

  4. Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_acquired_retinal...

    Pathologically, there is a loss of the rod and cone cells followed by degeneration of other layers of the retina. The retinal degeneration appears to be related to apoptosis of these cells. [ 11 ] SARDS must be distinguished from other causes of sudden blindness that have no visible pathology, including retrobulbar optic neuritis , a tumor at ...

  5. Visual phototransduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_phototransduction

    Visual phototransduction is the sensory transduction process of the visual system by which light is detected by photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the vertebrate retina.A photon is absorbed by a retinal chromophore (each bound to an opsin), which initiates a signal cascade through several intermediate cells, then through the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) comprising the optic nerve.

  6. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    The photoreceptor layer where transduction occurs is farthest from the lens. It contains photoreceptors with different sensitivities called rods and cones. The cones are responsible for color perception and are of three distinct types labeled red, green, and blue. Rods are responsible for the perception of objects in low light. [42]

  7. Vertebrate visual opsin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrate_visual_opsin

    Extant vertebrates typically have four cone opsin classes (LWS, SWS1, SWS2, and Rh2) as well as one rod opsin class (rhodopsin, Rh1), all of which were inherited from early vertebrate ancestors. These five classes of vertebrate visual opsins emerged through a series of gene duplications beginning with LWS and ending with Rh1, according to the ...

  8. Retina bipolar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_bipolar_cell

    Bipolar cells receive synaptic input from either rods or cones, or both rods and cones, though they are generally designated rod bipolar or cone bipolar cells. There are roughly 10 distinct forms of cone bipolar cells, however, only one rod bipolar cell, due to the rod receptor arriving later in the evolutionary history than the cone receptor ...

  9. Adaptation (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

    Rods and cones are responsible for vision and connected to the visual cortex. ipRGCs are more connected to body clock functions and other parts of the brain but not the visual cortex. Rods and cones can be easily distinguished by their structure. Cone photoreceptors are conical in shape and contain cone opsins as their visual
