Special Senses | Photoreceptors | Rods and Cones 

👍

'Low wavelength not activate cones', this statment is false. In the Video he corrects himself by saying the ligtht low intensity diactivates the cones. The rods have a much higher light sesitivity but the blue cones have a Adsorption Maxima at 420nm while the Rhodopsin is at 500nm. In Average while the Switching from Photopic to scotopic vision the spectral sensitivity shifts fom green to bluegreen also called Purkinje-effect/shift. So blue things appears to be brighter than red stuff.

I agree!!

He uses BORON and the likes. A personal suggestion-: Try to read GANONG which is a review book of physiology and make notes. You will find some concepts explained in a breath-taking way. Though your comment is 1 year old I doubt my suggestion would be of any help or not.

From what i know , There are about 120 million rods receptor , on each one there are plenty of escotopsin ( rhodopsin ) but these receptors have low threshold ( which means a high sensetivity to light photons ; that's why they can feel the less light in the dark after the adaptation But on the other hand, we have cones which are hugily less in number compared to rods (only 7 millions mainly exist in fovea centralis or macula lutae ) but they have a highly threshold value so they do just work on highly amounts of photons So in day light the rhodopsin is massivly destructed Which means that the rate of its destruction exceeds the rate of its synthesis in liver and retina On the other hand , theoritically only 1 million of the cones respond to the light But at the end The both cascades are the same but it only differs according to the sensetivity of the receptor ( i hope i explained it )
