2. Structure of Photoreceptors, Rods: All rods contain the pigment that absorbs light and does not distinguish between different wavelengths of light. Rhodopsin is composed of the protein and the pigment Retinal is derived from vitamin In the dark retinal is in a bent configuration called cis-retinal

ganglion cells form the nerve (CN II). Cones are photoreceptors that function best in bright light for processing high-resolution color vision while rods are photoreceptors that are sensitive in low-light and peripheral vision situations. Rods do not detect colors. 2. Structure of Photoreceptors, Rods: All rods contain the pigment that absorbs light and does not distinguish between different wavelengths of light. Rhodopsin is composed of the protein and the pigment Retinal is derived from vitamin In the dark retinal is in a bent configuration called cis-retinal 3. Structure of Photoreceptors, Cones: Cones contain the pigment iodopsin, which is composed of and the protein Photopsin responds to wavelengths perceived as_ or 4. Transduction in Photoreceptors. Transduction of light into an electrical signal begins when a photon encounters a disc in the outer segment of a rod or cone. The following events occur once a photon of light reaches a photoreceptor: a. How do photoreceptor cells react in the absence of stimulation (in the dark)? b. How do photoreceptor cells react in the presence of light? 5. Dark and Light Adaptation allow for adjustments in the amount of light present in the environment in just a blink of the eye. 6. Image Processing by the Retina in the dark occurs when the photoreceptor depolarizes and releases glutamate onto bipolar cells. What role does glutamate play in image processing?
