spiral organ of Corti
These cells are called sustentacular cells or supporting cells. They surround and support the olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation to the olfactory receptor cells, helping to maintain their function.
The vascular tissue in plants, specifically xylem and phloem, contain bundles of tubelike cells that carry water and food throughout the plant. Xylem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem carries sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.
Chloroplasts contain bundles of thylakoids in most plant cells.
The cocheal contains receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into impulses that are sent to the brain.
Groups of conducting cells are called bundles. These bundles help to efficiently conduct electrical signals through tissues in the body.
Yes, fat cells do not have pain receptors.
The dermis is the skin layer that contains nerve cells, also known as sensory receptors. These receptors help detect touch, temperature, pressure, and pain, allowing us to perceive various sensations in our skin.
The eye is the organ that contains light receptors called photoreceptor cells. These cells, like rods and cones, are specialized to detect light and transmit visual information to the brain for processing.
The receptors involved in hearing are located within the cochlea of the inner ear. These receptors, called hair cells, respond to sound waves by converting mechanical vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
Also called maculae provide information on head position (static equilibrium), as well as linear acceleration and deceleration, a type of dynamic equilibrium. The maculae consist of hair cells with hair bundles and supporting cells.
The layer that contains the visual receptors in the eye is the retina. The retina is located at the back of the eye and is made up of specialized cells called photoreceptors, which are responsible for detecting light and converting it into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as visual information.
You have rod cells and cone cells as receptors in your eye. Rods are for intensity of the light. Cone cells are for color vision.
