retinal cells

Retinal cells, located in the back of the eye, are specialized neurons that detect light and convert it into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain, enabling us to see. The main types include rods, which are sensitive to low light and help with night vision, and cones, which detect color and detail in brighter light. Other retinal cells help process and refine this information, allowing us to perceive sharp, colorful images. Together, these cells form a complex system that transforms light entering the eye into the visual information we interpret as sight.
