Question
Chapter 10, Problem 43RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The wavelength of light at which blue and green cones are equally stimulated along with the color of light.
Introduction:
The rods and cones serve as photoreceptors in the retina. These cells are responsible for the conversion of visible light into neural signals whose transmission occurs to the brain. There are three types of cone cells present in the human eye, which are responsible for absorbption of various pigments.

Which statement about the events of photoreception is false?
a) as a rod cell hyperpolarizes, its release of neurotransmitter increases
b) there is more Na+ entry into a rod cell in the dark than in the light
c) bipolar cells release more neurotransmitter in the light than in the dark
d) as a bipolar cell depolarizes, its release of neurotransmitter increases
e) when a rod cell releases neurotransmitter the bipolar cell it synapses with hyperpolarizes
Human color vision is "produced" by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact with photons oflight in the eye. These three different types of cones interact with photons of different frequency light, as indicated in the following chart:
Color vision is trichromatic in that 3 primary colors can mix and match all other colors. However, there are 4 unique colors or hues that come in opponent pairs. Name and describe what retinal elements or structures produce trichromacy, compared to what retinal elements or structures produce unique color signals and opponent color pairs?
