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.

Nutritive or Vascular layer of the eye?
The vascular layer of the eye is the middle layer. It is also called the uvea. The vascular contains the iris and lens. The iris contains the light levels inside the eye.
Which layer has dark pigment to absorb extra light and keep the inside of the eye dark?
the pupil
The dark middle layer of the eye that prevents the scattering of light is the?
choroid - a highly vascular membrane in the eye between the retina and the sclera; a dark pigmentation minimizes the scattering of light inside the eye.(http://www.thefreedictionary.com/choroid)
Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the?
A+ students: the answer is optic nerve.
What are the special neurons in your eye CALLED that help you see color?
they are called cones :)
The layer of photoreceptors and neurons at the back of the eye is called the?
retina

What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
Layer of nerve tissue made up of sensory neurons that respond to light?
The retina is the layer of nerve tissue in the back of the eye that contains sensory neurons called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones, respond to light and convert it into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, allowing us to perceive visual information.
Which layer has dark pigment to absorb extra light and keep the inside of the eye dark?
the pupil
The part of the eye with rods and cones in it?
Rods and cones are inside a layer of the eyeball called the retina.
Where is conjunctivitis found?
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is a layer of epithelial cells that cover the sclera (in the eye) and the inside of eyelids.
Why are everyones pupil black?
The choroid layer in the eye has a black color pigment on it. Also, the light entering the eye is not reflected because light rays entering the pupil are absorbed by the tissues inside the eye.
What is the pigmented layer of the eye called?
The pigmented layer of the eye is called the uvea.
Would the ratio of motor neurons to muscle fibers be the greatest at the muscle that control the eye?
Yes, th ration of motor neurons to muscle fibers are greatest for the muscles that control eye.
