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?

Answer 1

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.
