what is the function of the tapetum lucidum in the cow eye
When I did a dissection of a cow's eye in biology, we came across this term. The tapetum lucidum, which is not found in the human eye, functions to reflect light onto the retina.It especailly helps with night vision since it can reflect light even at very low intensities.uman's don't have the tapetum lucidum layer. This is present in animal eyes. It's what causes them to glow â¦ in the dark. There sometimes is a rare occurrence when it does happen in humans, which causes them to lose their sight.
