Presentation Transcript

  1. Phototransduction Eric Niederhoffer SIU-SOM • Retina and photoreceptor • Rhodopsin • Excitation - recovery/adaptation • Cyclic nucleotide gated channels

  2. Retina and Photoreceptor http://www.fz-juelich.de/inb/inb-1/Photoreception/ http://www.mardre.com/homepage/mic/tem/samples/bio/ros/rosdiag.html

  5. Review Questions • Which ions and ion channels are used for phototransduction? • Which signal transduction pathway is used for phototransduction (enzymes, second messenger, receptor)? • How does phototransduction compare with gustation and olfaction?
