Structure of Retina -

  • The inner layer of the eyeball is called the retina.
  • From outside to inside, it is made up of pigmented epithelium, photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells and ganglion cells.
  • The photosensitive pigment of rods is called rhodopsin (a derivative of vitamin D) 
  • Rods enable night vision. 
  • Cones are of three types depending on the photopigments:
    • The erythropsin in the red-sensitive cones.
    • The chloropsin in the green-sensitive cones.
    • The cyanopsin in the blue-sensitive cones.

Hence, Rods and cones are the sensory neurons in the human eye and is the correct answer.
