Question
Chapter 16.5, Problem 18AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Why a single retinal receptor system cannot achieve both low-threshold night vision and high-resolution day vision; why rod vision works in very low light but sacrifices resolution to do so; and why cone vision gives high resolution but sacrifices light sensitivity.
Introduction:
The perception of items that are present in the surroundings is termed as sight or vision. This perception occurs by means of reflection or emission of light from those objects. The retina, the neural component, is one of the principle components of the eyeball. It consists of three cell layers, and these cell layers are composed of ganglion cells, bipolar cells, and photoreceptor cells.
