ConesBy: Caleb Earley

The cone cells are located in the human eye More specifically found in the retina of the

human eye

Where Cones are found

The human eye contains many parts, 1 called the retina

The retina is made up of 2 different photoreceptors

1 being the more sensitive to light then the other and contains about 120 million cells in the eye, these are called Rods

The other 1, Cones have much fewer cells only about 6-7 million in the retina and are less sensitive to light but much more sensitive to colour

The Human Eye

Cones are cells in your eyes that give you the ability to see coloured objects

Cones turns light into colour There are 3 different types of cones,

green cones, red cones, and blue cone

The red and green cones make up about 98% of all cones

The blue only take up about 2% but, they have the highest sensitive color

Function of cones

Rods are very sensitive to lightand are used during the nightwhen it is hard to see Cones however are only Useful during the day when it’s light. Cone are also much smaller insize and have a substantial amountless In the retina

Difference in rods and cones

Colour blindness For the most part Colour blindness is a

hereditary condition It occurs when 1 or more of the three types

of cone cells are lacking or are not there

Condition that associated with cones
