w rhodopsin
-use cells in nerual layer to create AP
-at rest - dark condition, rod cells unstimulated, constant release of NT
glutamate - produces IPSP > hyperpolarization in bipolar cells - no AP is
produced so single can't go to optic nerve
-witha. light stimulus - AP releases NT towards ganglion cell which creates AP for
optic nerve
