Specialized cells are those that perform a specific function in the body. They have undergone many changes in order to be best suited to perform that specific function.
Specialized cells include:
- Cardiac cells of the heart
- Neurons of the brain
- Sarcomeres of the muscles
- Osteoblasts of the bones

The cells of the retina in which action potentials are generated are the?
ganglion cells
What is the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of the eye?
The retina (6 words) is this for a cross word by any chance?
Where in the eye houses light sensitive cells?
Retina contains rods and cones
What is the light-sensitive layer of neurons inside the eye?
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.
What is the path of light from the outside of the eye to the retina?
Qustion:The correct pathway for impulses leaving the retina? My answer: photoreceptors, ganglion cells, bipolar cells, and optic nerve.
What are the two types of cells found at the retina and what are their functions?
Rods and cones.
What makes the human eye see in the dark?
Inside the Retina the retina has two things that help the eye see in the dark and have colors. The one that can see in the dark is cone cells Inside the Retina the retina has two things that help the eye see in the dark and have colors. The one that can see in the dark is cone cells
Why is the retina dependent on glucose?
The cells of the retina need glucose to get energy through a process called cellular respiration. Without glucose to the cells of the retina you can't see and the cells of the retina can't function.
What are animal eye rods used for?
There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina, cone cells and rod cells. There are 92 million rod cells in a retina. Rod cells function in less intense light and are important for peripheral vision and night vision.
The cells of the retina in which action potentials are generated are the?
ganglion cells
What is the light sensitive tissue in the eye?
The retina. This consists of layers of cells that detect light and colour and transmit information to the brain via the optic nerve.
What cells in the retina are primarily responsible for night vision as opposed to day vision?
Dim vision is detected by rod-shaped cells in the retina.
What is a retina in the human eye?
The retina is a very thin layer of cells lining the back of the eye behind the viscous humor. This is where the cells that convert light to neural impulses are; without the retina, you would be blind.
Where are rod cells found?
in the retina of the eye
What is retinal cancer?
Retinal cancer is a cancer that arises in the cells of the retina. The retina is the layer of cells in the back of the eye where light is converted to nerve impulses.
What is the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of the eye?
The retina (6 words) is this for a cross word by any chance?
What type of cells present in hawk's retina?
rods
