Question
Chapter 34, Problem 8TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The light reception pathway initiates at the rods and cones. The cell hyperpolarize when the photoreceptors absorb photons, and the glutamate production terminates here.

The amount of glutamate release from photoreceptors of the vertebrateeye is highest whena. an animal is in full sunlight.b. an animal is in a completely dark place.c. an animal is in a dimly lit place.d. Na+ channels of the photoreceptors are closed.e. Both a and d are true.
Photoreceptors in the retina have special channels that are open to Na+ in the dark.
When light hits photoreceptors, these special channels close. What can you cònclude
from this?
None of the above
O Photoreceptors hyperpolarize to light
Photoreceptors depolarize to light
Photoreceptor voltage does not change in the presence of light
How are Ca2+ channels involved in phototransduction?
they cause neurotransmitter release even if no action potentials are produced
are not affected by PDE activation in the outer segments
when open, they lead to hyperpolarization in photoreceptors
in darkness, they do not rely on CGMP levels
The density of cones in the retina:
is highest where cone outer segments increase in diameter
is lowest where retinal blood vessels are absent
is drastically less than that of rods in the fovea
is indicative of what areas are associated with acuity
The recycling of rhodopsin.
