AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The retina is a light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that covers about 65 percent of its interior surface. Photosensitive cells called rods and cones in the retina convert incident light energy into signals that are carried to the brain by the optic nerve.

Detailed explanation-2: -Retina: a light sensitive layer that lines the interior of the eye. It is composed of light sensitive cells known as rods and cones. The human eye contains about 125 million rods, which are necessary for seeing in dim light.

Detailed explanation-3: -The macula is located in the middle of this nerve tissue and it is also known as fovea centralis. The macula, which is responsible for high-resolution images, is the most sensitive portion of the retina (mainly cone cells).

Detailed explanation-4: -Retina: The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina converts light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve. Vitreous gel: The vitreous gel is a transparent, colorless mass that fills the rear two-thirds of the eyeball, between the lens and the retina.

Detailed explanation-5: -Despite the fact that perception in typical daytime light levels is dominated by cone-mediated vision, the total number of rods in the human retina (91 million) far exceeds the number of cones (roughly 4.5 million). As a result, the density of rods is much greater than cones throughout most of the retina.
