What else can I help you with?
What is the light sensitive membrane of the eye called?
a flat, colored, ring-shaped membrane of the eye is called the iris
What is the innermost layer of the eye called?
The inner rear surface of the eye which contains photoreceptors it called the retina.
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.
Where is the photoreceptor located?
Photoreceptors are located in the retina of the eye. They are specialized cells that detect and respond to light, allowing us to see and perceive our visual environment.
Neurons dectecting stimuli in the skin and eyes are?
In the skin, neurons that detect stimuli are called mechanoreceptors for touch, nociceptors for pain, and thermoreceptors for temperature. In the eyes, neurons that detect light stimuli are called photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones located in the retina.
What is the light sensitive membrane of the eye called?
a flat, colored, ring-shaped membrane of the eye is called the iris
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 is the innermost layer of the eye called?
The inner rear surface of the eye which contains photoreceptors it called the retina.
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.
The retina comtains what kind of cells that detect certain wave length of light?
The retina contains photoreceptor cells called cones that detect specific wavelengths of light. There are three types of cones that are sensitive to red, green, and blue light, allowing us to perceive a wide range of colors.
Location in the eye where light energy changes to electric energy?
Light energy is converted into electrical energy in the retina of the eye. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors (rods and cones) that detect light and convert it into electrical signals that can be transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
What is the back of the eye called?
The back of the eye is called the retina. It is a light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye and contains cells that respond to light.
Where is the photoreceptor located?
Photoreceptors are located in the retina of the eye. They are specialized cells that detect and respond to light, allowing us to see and perceive our visual environment.
What part of the eye records the images?
The retina, located at the back of the eye, is the part responsible for recording images. It contains cells called photoreceptors that detect light and convert it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
The cells in the retina of the eye that detect light are called what?
Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision
What light sensitive cells in the eye detct color?
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
What layer of the eye converts visible light into nerve impulses?
I am pretty sure it is the retina.The retina not only is used for focusing but also The sides of the ''retina'' are responsible for our peripheral vision. The center area, called the macula, is ''used'' for our fine central vision and color vision. Are you referring to optical nerve impulses?
