Which receptors in the eye are sensitive to light?
The retina is made up of ten different layers. One of these layers contains special retinal receptors that are light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors detect and transform the light coming into the eye into electrical impulses. There are two types of photoreceptors: retinal rods and cones.
Which receptors in the eye are sensitive to color?
Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retinas of vertebrate eyes including the human eye. They respond differently to light of different wavelengths, and the combination of their responses is responsible for color vision.
Are receptors in the retina that process information about color?
Color Receptors
Cones are receptors located in the retina, and they are responsible for the vision of both color and detail. The cone receptors differ in absorption amounts due to the amount of opsin proteins in the receptor.
What elements of the retina are sensitive to light?
There are two types of light-sensitive elements in the retina: rods and cones.
