The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.
Yes
the primary vision is the intestines in the brain. it sux. personally
It is believed that nocturnal animals have little or no colour vision, but that all other animals have some colour vision. Scientists have determined that most marsupials, for example, have good colour vision. Because animals have different ratios of "rods" and "cones" in their eyes, they have different levels of being able to see colour. Rods assist in seeing in the dark; cones assist with colour vision. The ratio of rods to cones in their eyes, as well as the type of cones themselves determines how much colour vision animals have. There are three types of cones which are responsible for colour vision, and each one has a separate pigment which is sensitive to red, blue or green light. What we may see in colour may be very muted colours - almost shades of grey - to dogs. But it is still colour.
Rods are used for low-light contrasts, unlike cones which detect colour. They are photoreceptive cells found in the retina. Rods function in less intense light than cones, and are involved in peripheral vision.
Rods are photoreceptors found on the retina of the eye. They do not detect colour but detect variations in the amounts of light allowing you to see shades of colour and to develop adaptive night vision.

There are two types of visual receptors (photoreceptors) in the retina:1. Cones = photoreceptors for color vision; produce sharp images.2. Rods = photoreceptors for night vision; produce silhouettes of imagesThey are named for their shapes.
Colour blindness:- 1. A defect in vision, probably genetic inheritance. 2. Not discriminating on the basis of the colour of someones skin.

The "rod" type photoreceptors of the retina.
The retina of the eye which is the lining inside the eyeball contains rods and cones, which are the photoreceptors providing vision in mammals. not all mammals have both types of receptors. Rods provide black and white vision and allow for lower light, while cones are for color.
An anopsia is a defect in vision.

Rods are the photoreceptors that are not used in color vision. Rods are much more plentiful than the cones, and much more sensitive, they are responsible for scotopic vision.
