Students have asked these similar questions
What would be the consequences if birds and insects do not have structures which can disperse or refract light?
How are rods different from cones?
How are Ca2+ channels involved in phototransduction?
they cause neurotransmitter release even if no action potentials are produced
are not affected by PDE activation in the outer segments
when open, they lead to hyperpolarization in photoreceptors
in darkness, they do not rely on CGMP levels
The density of cones in the retina:
is highest where cone outer segments increase in diameter
is lowest where retinal blood vessels are absent
is drastically less than that of rods in the fovea
is indicative of what areas are associated with acuity
The recycling of rhodopsin.
