In the visual process the interaction between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors involves several transport phenomena. Heat from light-absorption is eliminated by blood-flow in the choroid. Transepithelial transport eliminates water from subretinal space for close interaction between photoreceptors and RPE. A recycling transport supplies the chromophore for photoreceptors. Last but not least transmembranal K+ transport maintains excitability of photoreceptors and Ca2+ enables the regulation of RPE function.
