PARTS OF THE CELL
cell body contain nucleus
cell processes
the pigment migrates into processes and may almost reach the external limiting membrane
- photopic vision
- scotopic vision
scotopic vision
RODS: its withdrawal to the dark position required from
- 1-2 hrs
- 2-3 hrs
- 1-2 hrs
3 parts of cone cells
- cone body
- thicker process
- slender process
3 parts of thicker process
- cone-rod, a short outer membrane
- inner membrane
- cone myoid
staining property of the retina varies with exposure to light
chemical
