초록

Calcium has a variety of functions in neuron and muscle cells and blood clotting, especially in the visual system where dark adapted rods cotransport with Na$\^$+/ into the cell. An influx of Ca$\^$++/ flows out of the cell through the Na$\^$+/-Ca$\^$++/ exchanger. By using a modified Using chamber in order to bring in vivo environment close, we have known that Ca$\^$++/ blocks the activity of guanylate cyclase, in consequence, having an effect on the amplitude of electroretinogram (ERG). We have measured the Ca$\^$++/, K$\^$+/, and Na$\^$+/ concentration in dark and light adapted bullfrog's (Rana catesbeiana) vitreous humor. The calcium concentration of the light adapted bullfrog's vitreous humor was higher than that of the dark adapted bullfrog's vitreous humor This means that ion activity between the photoreceptor and vitreous humor side is light dependent and we have found that a Ca$\^$++/ channel and Ca$\^$++/K$\^$+/ exchanger exist in the vitreous humor side. Taken together permeability of Ca$\^$++/, K$\^$+/ and K$\^$+/ ion internal limiting membrane faced in the vitreous humor side has light-dependent activity during the illumination.
