Cells in the the retina called cones (for colour perception and in greatest numbers in the macula) and rods (for black and white).

What part of the eye is responsible seeing light?
The macula. It is the central area of the retina, where the lens forms the central part of an image. It contains a high density of cone type light sensitive receptors.
Part of the eye responsible for night vission?
The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)
What part of the eye allows light to enter?
The pupil is the part of the eye through which light passes.
How does eye control light?
The eye uses both the pupil and iris to control how much light enters the visual receptors. here is a source to read more: http://www.biologymad.com/NervousSystem/eyenotes.htm
What is the innermost part of eye ball?
The center of an eye ball contains a transparent substance known as aqueous humor. The back of the eyeball, closest to the brain, is where the light-sensitive retina is located.
What part of the eye contain the receptors?
The retina is the part of the eye that contains light receptors.
The eye is considered part of what nervous system?
The retina is the part of the eye that contains light receptors.
An organ that contains light receptors?
Light receptors called rods and cones are found in the retina of the eye. Rods are resposible for discerning light as blackand white and the cones colour.
How part of the body do you think contains the most pressure receptors?
It's your eye. That's what my gut tells me, definitely the eye
What contains sensory receptors for vision in the eye?
Retina in the eye contains sensory cells. Retina has got rods and cones. Cones are responsible for colour vision. Rods are responsible for vision in less amount of light.
Which component of the eye contains visual receptors?
The eye's visual receptors reside within the retina. The eye's visual receptors consist of four different types of receptors including rods, blue cones, red cones and green cones.
What are the receptors in the eye?
You have rod cells and cone cells as receptors in your eye. Rods are for intensity of the light. Cone cells are for color vision.
What part of the eye is responsible seeing light?
The macula. It is the central area of the retina, where the lens forms the central part of an image. It contains a high density of cone type light sensitive receptors.
What are light receptors?
Light receptors are found in the eye. There are two types of receptors; rods and cones. Rods produce the black and white pigments and the Cones produce the color pigments.
The inner black surface of eye is?
I believe you mean the "retina". It appears black when you look into your friend's eyes, but it really is red. It appears black because of the refraction of light. The eye is designed to take light in, not let it out. The retina is the lining in the back of the eye that contains the light receptors, and many blood vessels as well.
Part of the eye responsible for night vission?
The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)
What is the specific job of a rod in your eye?
Rods are light-sensitive receptors in the retina of vertebrates.
