The sensory preceptors or photoreceptor cells is found on retina. It response to electromagnetic wave and transmitted data to our brain. There are 2 type of photoreceptor rod cells and cone cells.

∙ 12y agoThe Cones are responsible for adapting to different light intensities.
These cones can be divided into 3 different receptor types which deal with an individual colour: Red, Blue and Green.
The division is: Red (64%), Green (32%) and Blue (2%) which the Green and Red receptors are mostly positioned in Fovea centralis and the Blue is mostly located outside the Fovea.
I hope this answers the question set.

Animal cells and plant cells
B cells and T cells are two types of?
B cells and T cells are two types of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell found in cell mediated immunity.
What are the two types of cells found at the retina and what are their functions?
Rods and cones.
What are animal eye rods used for?
There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina, cone cells and rod cells. There are 92 million rod cells in a retina. Rod cells function in less intense light and are important for peripheral vision and night vision.
Which receptor Cells most directly enable us to distinguish different wavelengths of light?
There are two types, rods for black and white, and cones for colors.
What are the three different types of cells?
Cone cells, or cones, are one of the two types of photoreceptor cells that are in the retina of the eye which are responsible for color vision as well as eye color sensitivity; they function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells that work better in dim light.
What are the two types of gastric acid inhibitors?
There are two types of gastric acid inhibitors, H2-receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors. H2-receptor blockers are a type of antihistamine.
What makes the human eye see in the dark?
Inside the Retina the retina has two things that help the eye see in the dark and have colors. The one that can see in the dark is cone cells Inside the Retina the retina has two things that help the eye see in the dark and have colors. The one that can see in the dark is cone cells

In what two ways do receptor proteins affect cellular activity?
Receptor proteins are intracellular proteins. Two ways in which they affect cellular activity are through inducement of transitions to cells and to speed up chemical reactions in cells.

What is a retina receptor sensitive to light called?
Rods, which perceive black and white and gray, and cones, which perceive color.
What is the light-sensitive layer of neurons inside the eye?
Simply explained, the light sensitive cells inside the eye are located on the retina. There are two different types of photoreceptor cells: rods, which read light intensity or back and white; and cones which are color sensitive. Both rod and cone cells are then connected to ganglion cells. These cells then bundle into the optic nerve which carries the signals from the photoreceptor cells into the brain. Also, the photoreceptor cells are the furthest layer form the front of the eye and are closest to the back wall or choroid layer of the retina.
What color are cones of the retina sensitive to?
well the retina is covered is covered with two kinds of light sensitive nerves cells. six million of the are cones, these cells read color. Cone-shaped cells are divided into three types that detect only the specific colors such as yellow,green,or blue but combine to let you see an incredible array of different colors
