Abstract
The visual mechanism in the vertebrate rod photoreceptor cell involves one key substance, the visual pigment rhodopsin, and two key structures, the photoreceptor membrane and the outer membrane of the rod cell. Figure 1 is a schematic drawing of a vertebrate rod, showing from top to bottom: the outer segment with numerous rod sacs, the narrow cilium leading to the inner segment with mitochondria, endoplasmatic reticulum, nucleus and the synapse with the bipolar cells.
