Difference between Adaptation (eye) and Photoreceptor cell

Adaptation (eye) vs. Photoreceptor cell

In ocular physiology, adaptation is the ability of the eye to adjust to various levels of light. A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Similarities between Adaptation (eye) and Photoreceptor cell

Adaptation (eye) and Photoreceptor cell have 21 things in common (in Unionpedia): Calcium, Cone cell, Contrast (vision), Cyclic guanosine monophosphate, Fovea centralis, Ion, Mesopic vision, Nyctalopia, Opsin, Optical resolution, Phosphodiesterase, Photopic vision, Pupillary light reflex, Retina, Retinal, Retinal ganglion cell, Rhodopsin, Rod cell, Scotopic vision, Trichromacy, Visual perception.

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

Cone cell

Cone cells, or cones, are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye).

Contrast (vision)

Contrast is the difference in luminance or colour that makes an object (or its representation in an image or display) distinguishable.

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a cyclic nucleotide derived from guanosine triphosphate (GTP).

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

Mesopic vision

Mesopic vision is a combination of photopic vision and scotopic vision in low but not quite dark lighting situations.

Nyctalopia

Nyctalopia, also called night-blindness, is a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in relatively low light.

Opsin

Opsins are a group of proteins, made light-sensitive, via the chromophore retinal found in photoreceptor cells of the retina.

Optical resolution

Optical resolution describes the ability of an imaging system to resolve detail in the object that is being imaged.

Phosphodiesterase

A phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond.

Photopic vision

Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions (luminance level 10 to 108 cd/m2).

Pupillary light reflex

The pupillary light reflex (PLR) or photopupillary reflex is a reflex that controls the diameter of the pupil, in response to the intensity (luminance) of light that falls on the retinal ganglion cells of the retina in the back of the eye, thereby assisting in adaptation to various levels of lightness/darkness.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Retinal

Retinal is also known as retinaldehyde.

Retinal ganglion cell

A retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is a type of neuron located near the inner surface (the ganglion cell layer) of the retina of the eye.

Rhodopsin

Rhodopsin (also known as visual purple) is a light-sensitive receptor protein involved in visual phototransduction.

Rod cell

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.

Scotopic vision

Scotopic vision is the vision of the eye under low-light levels.

Trichromacy

Trichromacy or trichromatism is the possessing of three independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the three different types of cone cells in the eye.
