Structure of Retina

The retina contains two types of photoreceptor cells, rods and cones. Rods are more sensitive to light than cones and allow for vision in low light levels. Cones are less sensitive but allow for color vision and are used for vision in normal light levels. Signals from rods and cones are transmitted through a series of neurons in the retina and optic nerve to visual processing areas in the brain.
