What else can I help you with?
Which layer contains the visual receptors?
The layer that contains the visual receptors in the eye is the retina. The retina is located at the back of the eye and is made up of specialized cells called photoreceptors, which are responsible for detecting light and converting it into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as visual information.
What structure transmits information about odors?
The olfactory bulb is the structure in the brain that receives and processes information about odors transmitted from the olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity. This information is then further processed in the brain's olfactory cortex, allowing us to perceive and identify different smells.
Does the iris see color?
No. The retina in the back of the eye has receptors, that when stimulated by certain light, our brain interpret as color.
How does the light travel to your brain?
Light enters the eye through the cornea and passes through the lens, which focuses it onto the retina. The retina converts the light into electrical signals that are transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain's visual cortex, where they are interpreted as images.
Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?
Olfactory nerve to the brain's olfactory bulb, where they are processed and interpreted as specific smells. The olfactory nerve is responsible for carrying information about odors from the nose to the brain.
What are the brain stimulus receptors?
Brain stimulus receptors are considered "selective transducers" by physiologists. The reason that they are referred to as this is that the receptors convert certain information by turning it to energy.
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.
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the?
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the brain stem reflex centers.
What parts of the eye are involved with the inability to see. this is dealing with Blind spots?
The parts that are involved are the retina, brain cells called neurons, photo receptors, the optic nerves, and the iris. They function like a camera. How? Well the optic nerve head, neurons collected together passing as a whole through our photo receptors and it forms our optic nerve; they work as messengers to our brain. Once our eye sees light, the neurons transfers it to our brain as a picture. So when our blind spots kick in that means that there are no neurons passing to our photo receptors in that area, as in nothings being transmitted to our brain so there's no picture. Um... i hoped i was a good help to you XD
What is the function of photoreceptor?
detect light to retina
What part of eye send message to brain so that a person can see?
The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.
What does photoreceptor do?
A photoreceptor detects light rays. It works somewhat like taste receptors do.
