What kinds of receptors are hair cells rod cells and cone cells to which of your senses do these cells contribute and what does each do?

Hair cells are mechanoreceptors found in the inner ear that contribute to the sense of hearing and balance. Rod cells and cone cells are photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, contributing to the sense of vision; rod cells are responsible for low-light (scotopic) vision, while cone cells enable color vision and function best in bright light. Together, these receptors play crucial roles in how we perceive sound and light.


Do bobcats have more rod cells or cone cells?

Bobcats have more rod cells than cone cells in their eyes. Rod cells are responsible for low-light vision and detecting motion, which are essential for nocturnal predators like bobcats. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for color vision and detail, which are less critical for their hunting behavior.


What is the ratio of rods and cones in an owl?

There are about 120 million rod cells compaired to 6 million cone cells, for a ratio of about 20 rods for each cone.


What part of the retina where there are no light sensitive cells?

yellow spot or blind spot. it has no rod or cone photorecepter cells.


Why do most predators have a greater amount of rod cells in their eye than cone cells?

Because cone cells are activated by light, that is why our pupils get smaller and larger, to let more or less light in, where as rod cells have no need for light, and are better for seeing in the dark, wich is a valueble abilaty when you are a pretator.

What part of the body has cones in it has cones in it?

The eye .In there eye there is rod cells and cone cells. Rod cells detect color and Cone cells detect black and white. The cone cells let you see in the dark.

Difference between rod cell and cone cell?

Rod cells are sensitive to dim light, while cone cells help you see colors.


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.


The specific cells in the eye which responds to wavelengths of light are?

rod and cone cells


How rod cells are excited?

Rod cells are excited by very low levels of light, in contrast to cone cells that are excited by higher levels of light.


How are Rod and Cone cells formed Where are they produced and can they be replaced if they die?

well rods and cones aren't cells, they are nerve ending. so I'm assuming if the nerve does die, the rod or cone will die along with it.


How are the rod and cone cells in the eye similar to the taste buds in your tongue?

Rod and cone cells in the eye and taste buds on the tongue are both specialized sensory cells that help detect stimuli: light in the case of rod and cone cells, and taste molecules in the case of taste buds. Both types of cells send signals to the brain that are interpreted as visual or taste sensations.


What are the two sensory cells called?

The two sensory cells are rod cells and cone cells, which are located in the retina of the eye and are responsible for detecting light and color. Rod cells are more sensitive to low light conditions, while cone cells are responsible for color vision in bright light.


Between cones and rods?

The main difference between rod cells and cone cells is that the rod cell is responsible for detecting the dim lights only with black and white, and the cone cell is responsible for detecting the bright lights with colors. Also in retina, there are more rod cells than the cone cells. thirdly, defect in rods causes night blindness and defect in cones causes color blindness.
