ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -These organs contain specialized sensory receptors called photoreceptors that detect light. The photoreceptors transmit light stimuli to the central nervous system through sensory neurons. The stimulus is processed and a command is sent to the eye through motor neurons to produce images.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies. During vision, rod and cone photoreceptors respond to light intensity and color. During hearing, mechanoreceptors in hair cells of the inner ear detect vibrations conducted from the eardrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cells in the retina that respond to light stimuli are an example of a specialized receptor cell, a photoreceptor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photoreceptors are neurons in the retina of the eye that change visible light from the electromagnetic spectrum into signals that are perceived as images or sight. Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptors located at the back of the eye. Cones allow us to see color.
