How many light receptors does the eye have?
There are to types of cells that act as photoreceptors in the eye. The Rod and Cones. Rods detect only the presence or absence of light withough distinguishing between colours thus giving black nad white vision (as at night). Cones detect coloured in the images but are less sensitive, ie they require more light to function.
What part of eye send message to brain so that a person can see?
The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.
What is a Queen of the night tulip?

The cells in the retina of the eye that detect light are called what?
Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision
Do stars move during the night?
Yes but very very little movement........
What are rods?
Rods are photoreceptors found on the retina of the eye. They do not detect colour but detect variations in the amounts of light allowing you to see shades of colour and to develop adaptive night vision.

How are cones and rods different?
There are two types of visual receptors (photoreceptors) in the retina:1. Cones = photoreceptors for color vision; produce sharp images.2. Rods = photoreceptors for night vision; produce silhouettes of imagesThey are named for their shapes.
Why can you not see the colour of cars at night?
The retinas of our eyes have rods and cones. Rods detect light intensity, and cones detect color. The cones do not work as well in dark conditions. That is why, for example, a dark blue car will appear black at night.
What Specialized visual receptors play a key role in night vision and peripheral vision?
The "rod" type photoreceptors of the retina.

Night bowel movement?
Having diarrhea at night.
Part of the eye responsible for night vission?
The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)
