Fotorreceptores de la retina: Conos y Bastones -Centro de Oftalmología Bonafonte. Barcelona (España)

The retina's photoreceptors are highly complex and specialized neurons. They have developed structural domains to capture light and transform it into nerve impulses (outer segment), to synthesize proteins and provide energy (inner segment), and to communicate with neighboring cells (synaptic terminal). In this video, Dr. Sergio Bonafonte explains each part of the photoreceptors and the structural differences between rods and cones. Bonafonte Ophthalmology Center. Eye Surgery and Diseases.
