Summary Introduction
To draw: The graph depicting the distribution of rods and cones in the retina.
Concept introduction: A typical retina of a mammal contains two types of photoreceptors, the rods and the cones. The rods are present in larger number than cones. There are 125 million rods and 6 million cones in a typical retina. The cones of the retina mediate color vision while the rods mediate vision during night.
