rod cell in a sentence

Examples

1. Eventually, loss of rod cells leads to loss of cone cells ( cone photoreceptors ), the mainstay of human vision.
2. Rod cells also respond slower to light than cones and the stimuli they receive are added over roughly 100 milliseconds.
3. In vertebrates with three types of cone cells, at low light intensities the rod cells may contribute to color vision.
4. A dorsal ocellus consists of a lens element ( cornea ) and a layer of photoreceptors ( rod cells ).
5. This caused a considerable preservation in cone cell amount and function at P50, and a modest rod cell amount at P30.
6. Since cone cells make color vision possible, the high prevalence of rod cells in lemur eyes suggest they have not dichromats.
7. In rod cells the opsin molecules are embedded in the membranes of the disks which are entirely inside of the cell.
8. Since cone cells are not as sensitive to dim light as rod cells, most night vision is limited to rod cells.
9. Nocturnal lemurs such as mouse lemurs and dwarf lemurs, on the other hand, have retinas made up entirely of rod cells.
10. Since cone cells are not as sensitive to dim light as rod cells, most night vision is limited to rod cells.
