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.

What elements of the retina are sensitive to light?

There are two types of light-sensitive elements in the retina: rods and cones.

What type of receptor does vision use?

There are two types of photoreceptors in the human retina, rods and cones. Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision).
