Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells MeSH Descriptor Data 2024

MeSH Heading: Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells
Tree Number(s): A08.675.650.850.625.670.650; A08.675.650.915.937.670.650; A08.800.950.937.670.650; A09.371.729.831.625.670.650; A11.671.650.850.625.670.650; A11.671.650.915.937.670.650
Unique ID: D017948
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017948
Scope Note: Photosensitive afferent neurons located in the peripheral retina, with their density increases radially away from the FOVEA CENTRALIS. Being much more sensitive to light than the RETINAL CONE CELLS, the rod cells are responsible for twilight vision (at scotopic intensities) as well as peripheral vision, but provide no color discrimination.
