light-sensitive cells (cones and rods) in the retina, located just intimal to the pigmented epithelium; contain chemicals (photopsin and rhodopsin) which react to specific wavelengths of light and trigger nerve impulses
Specialized cells called rods and cones that make up the retina; triggered by light that enters the eyes.
cells in the eye that intercept incoming light signals.
The microscopic light-sensitive cells that are located in the retina called rods and cones. There are approximately 7 million cones and 130 million rods.
Cells in the retina that receive light that enters the eye. The photoreceptors are responsible for changing light into impulses that are sent to the brain.
The rod and cone cells of the retina that absorb light and allow images to come through to the retina and more specifically to the macula.
Cells that are sensitive to light
The neurons that are specialized for the perception of light.
(foh -toh -ree - sep - torz) Light-sensitive cells that may occur alone or grouped together. Horseshoe crabs have photoreceptors on the dorsal surface of their carapace.
The functional receptor for light in the eye. Rods and cones are the receptors.
Cells located at the back of the retina that contain photosensitive pigments. When light hits the pigments, it elicits nerve impluses that are responsible for vision. ( photorecepteur, n.m)
sensory cells of the retina; the density of the photoreceptors increases from the periphery to the centre of the retina. The region of greatest visual acuity (macula) has the highest density of photoreceptors and, for this reason, the highest resolution capacity.
the rods and cones of the retina - they respond to light stimuli Humans as organisms
Receptors sensitive to light in retina; rods and cones.
