Rods.
The human eye contains specialized receptor cells that are responsible for night vision. These cells are referred to as rods.
Rod cells are primarily responsible for night vision, as they are more sensitive to low light levels and can detect dim light. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for day vision and are less sensitive to light but can detect color and high levels of light.
Dogs have good night vision compared to humans due to a higher concentration of rod cells in their retinas. This allows them to see better in low light conditions, but it's not true night vision like some nocturnal animals have. Dogs rely more on their keen sense of smell and hearing to navigate in the dark.
I don't know any techniqual terms but basically they are not nocturnal, in fact they sleep before the sun even goes fully down. They don't have "night vision" because they don't need it, they hunt during the day.
Yes, cats have exceptional night vision compared to humans. They have specialized adaptations in their eyes, like a higher concentration of rod cells that help them see in low light conditions. This allows them to be more active during the night.
Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision

The retinal receptors responsible for detecting black, white, and gray colors are the rods. Rods are highly sensitive to light and function well in low light conditions, making them crucial for night vision. They do not contribute much to color vision but are essential for detecting differences in light intensity.
No, those are mostly the functions of the rod cells. Cones are more for vision during the day, when you can see colours :)
The rods cells are photoreceptor cells that require less light to function, therefore they are responsible for night vision.
Their eyes have a special reflective surface called the tapetum which improves their night vision by doubling the amount of light that is able to hit the retinal cells .
c. retinal rods
Rods are responsible for detecting low light and are important for night vision, while cones are responsible for detecting color and detail in bright light. Both rods and cones are types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye.
Rod cells are specialized visual receptors that play a key role in night vision and peripheral vision. They are located in the retina of the eye and are more sensitive to dim light than cone cells, which are responsible for color vision in bright light.
Rod cells are a type of photoreceptor cell in the retina of the eye that are responsible for vision in low light conditions. They are highly sensitive to light and are mainly responsible for night vision and peripheral vision. Rod cells do not detect color, as they are more sensitive to light intensity.
Cone cells are predominantly found in the fovea centralis. These cells are responsible for color vision and they function best in bright light conditions. Rod cells, on the other hand, are more abundant in the peripheral parts of the retina and are responsible for night vision and detecting motion.
