Cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for photopic (daylight) vision and color perception. There are three types of cones sensitive to blue, green, and red wavelengths. Rods are responsible for scotopic (dim light) vision and do not detect color. The cornea and lens focus light onto the retina.

The spleen is the largest organ in the lymphatic system. It plays a vital role in immune function by filtering blood, producing lymphocytes, and removing old or damaged red blood cells and platelets. The thymus is crucial for T-cell maturation but is largest in childhood and shrinks with age. Tonsils and Peyer's patches are smaller, localized lymphoid tissues. The spleen acts as a major blood filter and immune response center.
