What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?
It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.
What are the the two cells in the retina?
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 heartNeurons of the brainSarcomeres of the musclesOsteoblasts of the bones
What is the pathway that light travels as it enters the eye?
Light bounces off the leaf, enabling the eye to detect its color and shape as light also enters the retina.
Where in the eye houses light sensitive cells?
Retina contains rods and cones
What is the sensory receptors that can perceive color?
Cone cells in the retina of the eye detect color. There are three types of cone cells. Two of them detect light of different wavelengths, one medium and the other long. And the third detects the overall intensity of the light source. Your brain uses this information to interpret the combination of those three receptors to give you the sensation that you percieve different colors.
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 light sensitive cells in the eye detct color?
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
What kind of wave is in the retina of the eye detect light and send signals to the brain?
rod and cone cells
The retina comtains what kind of cells that detect certain wave length of light?
Yes, they are called rods and cones.
What eye cell does not detect color?
The rods in the retina of the eyes are sensitive to low levels of light and movement. The cones are the ones that are sensitive to color and intensity, so the rods do not see color.
What is the function of photoreceptor?
detect light to retina
What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?

What is it that rods detect?
Rods are used for low-light contrasts, unlike cones which detect colour. They are photoreceptive cells found in the retina. Rods function in less intense light than cones, and are involved in peripheral vision.
What are the cells of the retina that detect color?
cones for color,rod are for black and white
Why do human beings see color?
There are certain cells in your eye retina that detect colour, called cone cells.
Rods and cones are the light-sensitive cells on the?
the retina
