Preferred Label : retinal cone photoreceptor cells;
MeSH definition : Photosensitive afferent neurons located primarily within the FOVEA CENTRALIS of the
MACULA LUTEA. There are three major types of cone cells (red, blue, and green) whose
photopigments have different spectral sensitivity curves. Retinal cone cells operate
in daylight vision (at photopic intensities) providing color recognition and central
visual acuity.;
