The 130 million receptor cell called the Retina is apart of the Central Nervous System. The Retina is how people are nearsighted they can see they can see near objects, but they can’t focus enough to see far. Farsightedness or being farsighted is when you see far, but you can’t see near objects clearly. The 130 receptor cells are also known as rods and cones.
The Central Nervous System is apart of the Nervous System, but the Central Nervous System makes up the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The Nervous System is a collection of nerves and cells called neurons. Neurons can transmit signals to and from different parts of the Nervous System has two main components the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. The Peripheral …show more content…
The Retina has lots of pigment, sensory cells, lots of layers of cells, rods, and cones. The function of the Retina or “The purpose is to receive light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals, and send these signals onto the brain for visual recognition”(Galesgroup.com). The structure and function of the Retina helps you see because of the rods and cones. “Receptors in the Retina include rods and cones’(Science Explorer 194, 195).
The Retina’s malfunctions can make you lose vision or blindness called Retinal Degenerative, millions of people suffer from it around the world. You can also have damage to the photoreceptor cell, they can disappear. According to nonol-retina.com “Photorector cells are the light sensing cells of Retina.” Another malfunction is Age-related Macular Degeneration or AMD. Retinitis pigmentosa or RP is another malfunction for the Retina. Some things that can help with the diseases that aren't permanent are gene therapy, optogenetics, and cells transplants. If someone is having visual loss, it's usually due to a problem with wit the Retina. The Retina is the innermost layer of the eye. The optics of the eye create an image of the object on the Retina. Light striking the Retina initiates a cascade of events on the optic
