Where on the body will you find the retina?
The retina contains two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. The rods can be defined as more numerous, some 120 million and are more sensitive than cones. Rods are not sensitive to color. The 6 to 7 million cones provide the eyeÕs color sensitivity and they are much more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.
What part of the eye detects the Image?
Visual images are actually detected by the brain. The optic nerve transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. Interestingly, the image that is transmitted is actually upside down because of the way the lens in the eye works, but the brain turns the image right side up.
What Specialized visual receptors play a key role in night vision and peripheral vision?
The "rod" type photoreceptors of the retina.
What are the the two cells in the retina?
Specialized cells are those that perform a specific function in the body. They have undergone many changes in order to be best suited to perform that specific function.Specialized cells include:Cardiac cells of the heartNeurons of the brainSarcomeres of the musclesOsteoblasts of the bones
What are the two kinds of photoreceptor types in the retina?
The retina has two kinds of light sensitive cells, called photoreceptors, the rod and the cone cells. Rod cells are sensitive to absolute light levels (not color vision) while cone cells are used for color vision.
Where are rod cells found?
in the retina of the eye
Where are photoreceptors highly concentrated?
The fovea centralis has the highest concentration of photoreceptors. The macula lutea has the second highest concentration.
What cells in the retina are primarily responsible for night vision as opposed to day vision?
Dim vision is detected by rod-shaped cells in the retina.
What are animal eye rods used for?
There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina, cone cells and rod cells. There are 92 million rod cells in a retina. Rod cells function in less intense light and are important for peripheral vision and night vision.
What is the specific job of a rod in your eye?
Rods are light-sensitive receptors in the retina of vertebrates.
What are the cells of the retina that detect color?
cones for color,rod are for black and white
What are the special cells on the retina that sense black white and shades of grey?
rods or rod cells

What kind of wave is in the retina of the eye detect light and send signals to the brain?
rod and cone cells
Where is the exact location of the cones in the retina?
The cones are the sensory receptors responsible for picking up light of different wavelengths and therefore colours. These are concentrated in an area of the retina called the macular lutea in particular in a pit called the fovea.
What part of the retina where there are no light sensitive cells?
yellow spot or blind spot. it has no rod or cone photorecepter cells.
What part of the eye detects the Image?
Visual images are actually detected by the brain. The optic nerve transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. Interestingly, the image that is transmitted is actually upside down because of the way the lens in the eye works, but the brain turns the image right side up.
