Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rods have much convergence in their pathway, meaning that multiple rods converge onto one bipolar cell. This contributes to their sensitivity to low levels of light but also reduces their ability to provide high visual acuity. Cones, on the other hand, have less convergence in their pathway, allowing for higher visual acuity but lower sensitivity to light. Both rods and cones can be found in the retina.
