Which process allows more light to reach the periphery of the retina?

Dilation of the pupil allows more light to reach the periphery of the retina by increasing the amount of light entering the eye. This is controlled by the iris muscles when lighting conditions change.


Part of the eye responsible for night vission?

The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)


How are cone cells spread over the retina?

Cone cells are concentrated in the central part of the retina known as the fovea. The distribution decreases as you move away from the fovea towards the periphery of the retina. This arrangement allows for better color and high-acuity vision in the central part of our visual field.


What are the names of the two photo-pigments found on the retina?

The two photo-pigments found on the retina are called rhodopsin and iodopsin. Rhodopsin is found in rod cells and is responsible for night vision, while iodopsin is found in cone cells and is responsible for color vision.


Research on rods and cones has revealed that?

Rods are responsible for night vision and detecting low light levels, while cones are responsible for color vision and high acuity vision. Rods are more sensitive to light than cones but do not perceive color. Cones are concentrated in the central part of the retina, while rods are more abundant in the periphery.

Where are rods in the eye located?

Rods and cones are located in the retina of the eye. There are more rods than cones, and rods are involved with seeing at night or in low light situations.


What is the function of a cone cell?

Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye which function best in relatively bright light. The cone cells gradually become sparser towards the periphery of the retina.


What do the cells in the retina do that are called rods?

Rods are photoreceptor cells in the retina that are responsible for vision in low light conditions. They are sensitive to light and help us see shapes and movement in dim lighting. Rods are not sensitive to color and are more concentrated around the periphery of the retina.
