Layer of nerve tissue made up of sensory neurons that respond to light?
The retina is the layer of nerve tissue in the back of the eye that contains sensory neurons called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones, respond to light and convert it into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, allowing us to perceive visual information.
Which structure of the eye contains the photoreceptors?
no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.
What cells are able to pass messages back and forth?
The cells that are able to pass messages back and fourth are called neurons. These neurons are found in the brain.
Part of the retina that lacks photoreceptors?
The optic disc or blind spot is where optic nerve leaves the back of the eye. There are no photoreceptors (rods/cones) in that area.
What is the sensory layer in the back of the eye called?
The retina
What is happening to Ozoen Layer it?
The ozone layer is depleted. It is due to the so called miracle compounds produced way back called CFC's.
What is the name of the substance of why animals can see in the dark?
tapetum lucidum-a layer of tissue in the eye of many vertebrate animals, that lies immediately behind or sometimes within the retina. It reflects visible light back through the retina, increasing the light available to the photoreceptors.
How can I see yall guys?
When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals. These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see.
Individual nerve cells are called?
The answer is to let a 13 year old back in school
Could damaged neurons in the CNS multiply and grow back?
no
Where on the body will you find the retina?
The retina contains two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. The rods can be defined as more numerous, some 120 million and are more sensitive than cones. Rods are not sensitive to color. The 6 to 7 million cones provide the eyeÕs color sensitivity and they are much more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.
What is the link between neuron pathways and learning?
our core learning is recorded in the set of neurons. sensory neurons send decoding messages to the motor neurons. in case the information generated by one set of neurons is insufficient to solve the problem, the inter neurons send furthar questions through the pathways to another set of neurons and carries back the information to the earlier set of neurons. un answered questions get recorded in a new set of neurons as new experience.
