Visual System II: Retinal Processing

Adequate Stimulus: A stimulus of a quality and of sufficient intensity to excite a sensory receptor. Adequate Stimulus for Visual System: Electromagnetic wave with a wavelength between 350 and 750 nm and of sufficient intensity to excite a photoreceptor.

Fovea cones Periphery rods cones

rhodopsin 11-cis retinal + opsin all-trans retinal + opsin 11-cis retinal All-trans retinal opsin

When light strikes photoreceptor  activates G-protein  activates c-GMP phosphodiesterase  c-CMP hydrolyzed to 5-GMP  c-GMP dependent cation channels close  reduced Na + and C 2+ currents  hyperpolarization of cell  reduces release of glutamate In dark, cGMP keeps cation (mainly Na + ) channels open. The inward Na + “dark current” keeps the resting membrane potential at about -40 mv. This depolarization keeps voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open, resulting in release (“dripping “)of glutamate from the photoreceptor.
