Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rods are specialized cells in the retina that function best in dim light, allowing us to see in low light conditions. They are responsible for night vision and do not produce color sensations or pick up fine detail. Additionally, there are typically around 20 times as many rods as cones in the human eye, with an estimated 90-120 million rods in each retina compared to about 5 million cones.
