Retina in the eye contains sensory cells. Retina has got rods and cones. Cones are responsible for colour vision. Rods are responsible for vision in less amount of light.

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.
How part of the body do you think contains the most pressure receptors?
It's your eye. That's what my gut tells me, definitely the eye
An organ that contains light receptors?
Light receptors called rods and cones are found in the retina of the eye. Rods are resposible for discerning light as blackand white and the cones colour.
The eye is considered part of what nervous system?
The retina is the part of the eye that contains light receptors.
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 are two classifications of sensory receptors?
There are many different sensory receptors, but olfactory receptors in the nose, and cones and rods in the eyes are two specific types of sensory receptors. Olfactory detects the chemical presence and your brain identifies it as a smell. The rods and cones of the eye process light and color to form images that your brain processes as vision.
What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
What contains visual receptors called rods and cones?
Rods and cones are in the sensory components in the retina of the eye. They are essential to the sense of sight.
What part of the eye contain the receptors?
The retina is the part of the eye that contains light receptors.
Where are the sensory cells located for sight?
receptors in the retina(inside back) of the eye
What are the receptors in the eye?
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.
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)
Contains the photoreceptors for vision?
The retina of the eye which is the lining inside the eyeball contains rods and cones, which are the photoreceptors providing vision in mammals. not all mammals have both types of receptors. Rods provide black and white vision and allow for lower light, while cones are for color.
Which component of the eye contains visual receptors?
The eye's visual receptors reside within the retina. The eye's visual receptors consist of four different types of receptors including rods, blue cones, red cones and green cones.
Where are most sensory receptors located?
In the human being, it is the eye. Hence the ancient method of "stick a needle in your eye" to prove death. No reflex, no life.
