Detailed explanation-1: -There are currently three known types of photoreceptor cells in mammalian eyes: rods, cones, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. The two classic photoreceptor cells are rods and cones, each contributing information used by the visual system to form an image of the environment, sight.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptors in the eye. Both are specialized nerves that convert light into neural impulses, but they differ in number, location, and function.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the function of rods and cones in the eye? Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels or scotopic vision. Whereas, the cones are responsible for vision at higher light levels or photopic vision.
