The retina has two types of cells used in vision, rodsand cones. Cones, concentrated in the center of the retina, serve both color vision and the highest visual acuity. Rods, concentrated away from the center -- at the "sides," as you phrased it -- are responsible for night vision, for our most sensitive motion detection, and for our peripheral vision (vision of objects to the side, away from the center). Paradoxically, your night-vision is enhanced it you do not look directly at objects that are in relative darkness. If you drive at night on poorly lighted roads, for example, you can enhance your night-vision of passing cars and of the sides of the road by looking straight ahead: the rods will detect motion, objects on the periphery (the sides), and objects in relative darkness. If you were to look directly at objects in darkness, you would be stimulating the cones, in the center of the retina, and your night-vision would be less effective.
What else can I help you with?
What is the sensitive surface of the eye that acts like the film in a camera?
The retina is the sensitive surface of the eye that acts like the film in a camera. It contains specialized cells called photoreceptors that convert light into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain for visual processing.
The layer of the vertebrate eye where photoreceptors are located is the?
retina
What is a ratina?
The ratina is also known as the "Reetina" it is based around the sides of the male genitalia and helps ti produce spermial tissue and testicul amprobhpites.
Where is the photoreceptor located?
Photoreceptors are located in the retina of the eye. They are specialized cells that detect and respond to light, allowing us to see and perceive our visual environment.
What is the innermost layer of the eye called?
The inner rear surface of the eye which contains photoreceptors it called the retina.
Use retina in a sentence?
The retina had been ruptured causing the loss of vision
How do you use retina in a sentence?
Macular degeneration is a disease of the eye that causes blindness by destroying the retina.
What layer of the eye converts visible light into nerve impulses?
I am pretty sure it is the retina.The retina not only is used for focusing but also The sides of the ''retina'' are responsible for our peripheral vision. The center area, called the macula, is ''used'' for our fine central vision and color vision. Are you referring to optical nerve impulses?
What is the light sensitive tissue in the eye?
The retina. This consists of layers of cells that detect light and colour and transmit information to the brain via the optic nerve.
What is a dog's retina?
The retina is part of the eye
What nutrients does blood give to the retina?
the layer that supplies blood to the retina is the "Sclera" which is the outermost layer of the eye.
The axons of the retina culminate in what nerve?
the axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve which forms a blind spot on the retina
The layer of the eye where photoreceptors are located?
The transparent inner neural layer of the RETINA
Layers containing the rods and cones?
retina

No, Retina Miller is a lesbian.
Which organ system contains retina?
The retina is in the eye.
Lens is part of retina?
No. Lens is in the front of retina.
