Human Physiology : How Does the Eye See Color?

Rods and cones exist on the eye's retina, and it's the job of the cones to help the eye see color. Find out how color changes depending on its wavelength with information from a science teacher in this free video on physiology and the human body.

I like the way she opened an internet page of her mac of an eye diagram. lol

@EKhan89 She simplifies, it's vulgarisation, we cannot all be Ph.Ds like you.

This lady is lying, the brain doesn't entirely interpret the color one sees. There are X ganglionic cells in the retina that begin this process and not only that but the cones in retina are specific to the three primary colors of red, green, and blue. It is through different combinations of these cones and the transmission through the X ganglionic cells that let the brain know what color you are seeing. Don't listen to her, she's a lying bitch.

You should do it with a power point. Will be better you can use my images if you want.

cool thanks very good bout say some one dosnt have cone cells then dont the rods make them see black and whit ... lol yes i know the answer but this is just to see if any one else does
