Rods are responsible for vision in low light conditions and are more sensitive to light than cones. As the bedroom is dark, the person would be using their rods to see the outline of the pile of clothes. Cones are responsible for color vision in bright light. Papillae are taste buds and otoliths are responsible for balance in the inner ear.
