Detailed explanation-1: -The human eye has three different types of light-sensitive receptors: rods, cones and photosensitive ganglion cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The photoreceptor cells of the retina are the rods and cones. The rods are responsible for the night vision and side vision. The rods are more in number than cones and much more sensitive to light. The cones are responsible for the detailed, colored and sharp vision that is central.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory receptors are specialised to perceive a certain kind of stimulus. When they receive the stimulus, they convert the energy from stimulus to electric signals. The electric signal, action potential or impulses thus generated are transmitted by sensory neurons or afferent neurons to the brain and spinal cord.
