Rod cells: A type of photoreceptor cells in the eye found concentrated at the outer edges of the retina. Rod cells are responsible for vision in low light conditions.
Cone cells: The second type of photoreceptor cell in the eye concentrated in the fovea of the retina. Cone cells are responsible for the vision in bright light and colour vision
Rod Cells and Cone Cells
1. Rod cells are located at the peripheral portion of the retina. and Cone cells are located at the central part (fovea) of the retina.
2Rod cells are cylindrical and comparatively longer than cone cells and Cone cells are comparatively shorter than rod cells.
3.Rod cells are narrower than cone cells and Cone cells are usually wider than rod cells.4.More number of rod cells than cone cells and Number of cone cells are lesser than that or rod cells.
5.Average number of rods in human is 120 Million and Average number of cones in human is 6 million
