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.
Which part of the eye holds visual receptor cells?
Retina
Which part of the eye transmits visual data?
The optic nerve transmits visual date from the retina to the brain.
Encoded information travels along the optic nerve to the?
The optic nerve transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain.
How does the retina work?
"The optics of the eye create an image of the visual world on the retina, which serves much the same function as the film in a camera. Light striking the retina initiates a cascade of chemical and electrical events that ultimately trigger nerve impulses. These are sent to various visual centers of the brain through the fibers of the optic nerve." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina
What type of sensory information travels from the retina through the thalamus to the visual cortex?
smell
Why do you see objects as upwright and of the same size although the images formed on the retina are upsidedown and diminished?
The short answer is that the interpretation of what you see occurs in the visual cortex, not in the retina.
What does the vitourous humor do?
The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina in the eye. It helps maintain the shape of the eye and support the retina by transmitting light to the retina for visual perception.
What cells for visual processing are located closest to the back of the retina?
rods and cones
What is the function of the nerves of the eye?
optic nerve is the one that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.
What is the black center of an eye?
It is well known as the pupil - a dark circular opening in the center of the iris of the eye, varying in size to regulate the amount of light reaching the retina, so that you can have a visual at the things you look at.
What part of your brain is active in keeping an image of the moving bird on your retina?
Visual cortex of occipital lobe
