Describe the physiology of how rods/cones work
Which of the following is the best explanation of why it is difficult to discriminate the color of an
object at night?
Rods contain a single visual pigment.
As many as 100 cones may converge on one ganglion cell.
Cones come in three types, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light.
The fovea are densely packed with cones.
Select the options that properly describe the function and features of cones.
A bright blue light would stimulate cones more than rods.
cones can see red, blue and green.
cones view low light conditions in grayscale.
In low light conditions cones perceive color as blue scale.
In low light conditions cones perceive color as gray cale.
cones are sensitive to bright light conditions.

- For each of the following, indicate whether it applies to rods or cones: vision in bright light; only one type of visual pigment; most abundant in the periphery of the retina; many feed into one ganglion cell; color vision; higher sensitivity; higher acuity.arrow_forwardThe transmission of sensory information requires the input of free energy. For each sensory system (olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing, and touch), identify mechanisms for the input of free energy that allow the transmission of sensory information.arrow_forward3. Soru Which of the following is a false statement about photoreceptors of the eye? A) Cones are active at high light levels and have high spatial acuity. B) Rods are responsible for scotopic vision while cones are responsible for photopic vision. C) Rods are active at low light level and have low spatial acuity. D) There are two types photoreceptors: rods and cones. E) The ratio of rods to cones in the retina is higher in humans than it is in dogs.arrow_forward
- Rods differ from cones in the following ways: a. They detect dim light, not bright light. b. They have a different visual pigment. c. They are not located in the retina. d. All of the above. e. a and b onlyarrow_forwardWhy do rods provide greater visual sensitivity while cones provide better acuity?arrow_forwardMatch the following statements to the type of cell in the eye each describes (rods or cones). Select "Both" if the statement is true of both cell types. Rods Directly detects light coming into the eye. Different types of this cell Cones respond to different wavelengths (colors) of light. More sensitive to low levels of light. Rods Found in high concentrations at the fovea centralis. Cones < <arrow_forward
- Discuss the function and distribution of rods and cones.arrow_forwardWhat are the differences between rods and cones with respect to their anatomy, their photopigments, and the light they process?arrow_forwardHuman color vision is "produced" by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact with photons oflight in the eye. These three different types of cones interact with photons of different frequency light, as indicated in the following chart:arrow_forward
- Which of the following best describes the function of a camera type eye? A) To form high-definition images that are transmitted to the brain. B) To gather and concentrate light through a lens onto retinal tissue which generates an impulse that is transmitted to the brain. C) To protect the optic nerve which generates an impulse that is transmitted to the brain. D) To detect vibrations through the vitreous body which generates an impulse that is transmitted to the brain.arrow_forwardProvide a list of any five features of the human eye that contribute to its ability to detect and record visual information in the real world.arrow_forwardYou are watching the stars at night, and you never seem to be looking at the right spot to catch the brightest meteors. Which of the following might explain this? a)Your fovea contains mostly cones; thus you see dim light especially well when looking right at it. b)Your peripheral retina contains more rods, which are more sensitive to dim light than cones; thus objects in your peripheral vision appear brighter in dim light situations. c)Detection of light depends mostly on its color rather than intensity; thus cones play a larger role in detection of light in dim light situations. d) all of the above. ( well explain the correct answer and type answer).arrow_forward
