Difference between Retina and Ribbon synapse

Retina vs. Ribbon synapse

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs. The ribbon synapse is a type of neuronal synapse characterized by the presence of an electron-dense structure, the synaptic ribbon, that holds vesicles close to the active zone.

Similarities between Retina and Ribbon synapse

Retina and Ribbon synapse have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Bipolar neuron, Central nervous system, Photoreceptor cell, Retina bipolar cell, Scotopic vision, Synapse.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Bipolar neuron

A bipolar neuron or bipolar cell, is a type of neuron which has two extensions.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Photoreceptor cell

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

Retina bipolar cell

As a part of the retina, bipolar cells exist between photoreceptors (rod cells and cone cells) and ganglion cells.

Scotopic vision

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

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.
