How do horses see?

Exactly the same way as humans do, light enters their eye through the pupil, the light is then focused onto the retina, which is at the back of the eye, by the lens. The photo receptive cells, called rods and cones, turn the light stimulation in electrical impulses, which is brought to the brain by the optic nerve. The electrical impulses are then perceived by the brain as images.


How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?

The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
