3)- Colour vision :-is photochemical in nature, evidenced by :-
- presence of 3 types of pigments with different maximum absorption
wave length → blue 450 nm.
→ green 540 nm.
→ red 575 nm.
4)- Retinal sensitivity :-
- bleaching of rhodopsin → ↓ sensitivity.
- reformation of rhodopsin → ↑ sensitivity.
5)- Diseases :-
- retinitis pigmentosa :- ↓ vit.A → suffering of rhodopsin metabolism
→ night blindness.
- sensory RD :- ↓ formation of rhodopsin from vit.A in blood.
d)- Duplicity theory of vision :-
- it states that retinal function is totally different in day & night vision
due to presence of 2 types of receptors:-
RODS CONES
- in retinal periphery. - in macula.
- responsible for scotopic vision. - responsible for photopic vision.
- highly sensitive to light. - less sensitive to light.
- little colour perception. - good colour perception.
- little details perception. - good details perception.
- convergence is very marked
( several rods are associated
together & send impulses to single
bipolar cell ) → high degree of
spatial summation.
- no convergence of impulses ( every
cone discharge to single bipolar cell
→ single ganglion cell → single nerve
fiber ) → high degree of
discrimination.
- Evidences :-
1)- dark adaptation curve composed of 2 parts :-
- 1st part → rapid, correspond to cone adaptation.
- 2nd part → slow, correspond to rod adaptation
