Difference between Eye and Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells

Eye vs. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells

Eyes are organs of the visual system. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), also called photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (pRGC), or melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs), are a type of neuron in the retina of the mammalian eye.

Similarities between Eye and Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells

Eye and Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Brain, Circadian rhythm, Cone cell, Entrainment (chronobiology), Mammalian eye, Neuron, Ommatidium, Photoreceptor cell, Photosensitivity, Pretectal area, Pupil, Pupillary light reflex, Retina, Retinohypothalamic tract, Rod cell, Suprachiasmatic nucleus.

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Circadian rhythm

A circadian rhythm is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours.

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).

Entrainment (chronobiology)

Entrainment, within the study of chronobiology, occurs when rhythmic physiological or behavioral events match their period to that of an environmental oscillation.

Mammalian eye

Mammals normally have a pair of eyes.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Ommatidium

The compound eyes of arthropods like insects, crustaceans and millipedes are composed of units called ommatidia (singular: ommatidium).

Photoreceptor cell

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Photosensitivity

Photosensitivity is the amount to which an object reacts upon receiving photons, especially visible light.

Pretectal area

The pretectal area, or pretectum, is a midbrain structure composed of seven nuclei and comprises part of the subcortical visual system.

Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina.

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.

Retinohypothalamic tract

The retinohypothalamic tract (RHT) is a photic neural input pathway involved in the circadian rhythms of mammals.

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.

Suprachiasmatic nucleus

The suprachiasmatic nucleus or nuclei (SCN) is a tiny region of the brain in the hypothalamus, situated directly above the optic chiasm.
