today’s society there are many different types of people that are viewed as outcasts.

Light falling on photoreceptors is transformed by retinal circuitry into a pattern of action potentials that ganglion cell axons convey to the visual centres in the brain. Two systems of photoreceptors exist – rods and cones – allowing the visual system to meet the conflicting demands of sensitivity and acuity‚ respectively. Rods and cones are distinguished by shape‚ type of photopigment they contain‚ distribution across the retina‚ and pattern of synaptic connections
