| Name: | photoreceptor outer segment layer |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | photoreceptor outer segment layers |
| Definition: | Layer of the retina composed of the outer segments of the photoreceptor cells. The photoreceptor outer segment is a specialized primary cilium consisting of a microtubule-based axoneme and regular stacks of membrane folds or disks containing the photopigments (opsins) required for the phototransduction cascade. |

| Name: | retinal cone cell |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | retinal cone cells |
| Definition: | One of the two photoreceptor cell types in the vertebrate retina. In cones the photopigment is in invaginations of the cell membrane of the outer segment. Cones are less sensitive to light than rods, but they provide vision with higher spatial and temporal acuity, and the combination of signals from cones with different pigments allows color vision. |
