Which structure is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses?
question: what 'structure' transduces light into neural impulses? answer: a life form's 'virtual' optical neural network
What is the light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulses called?
The light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulse is called the retina
Does neural impulses travel faster than hormonal messages?
Nerve impulses move at nearly the speed of light. Hormones are chemicals that are released over a period of time to Crete changes in a multicellular organism. So, naturally, nerve impulses are faster.
What is a noid light?
A noid light is there to test the electrical impulses in your fuel injector. The noid light helps determine a misfire.
What is a retina in the human eye?
The retina is a very thin layer of cells lining the back of the eye behind the viscous humor. This is where the cells that convert light to neural impulses are; without the retina, you would be blind.
How do people see?
First, light passes through the transparent cornea. It then reaches the pupil. This expands or contracts depending on the amount of light that enters the eye. The iris controls the size of the pupil, to regulate how much light reaches the lens. The lens bends light rays and focuses them on the back of the eye, or the retina. The retina, then, changes light into nerve impulses through a complex process. These impulses are transmitted along the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets the impulses as images.
What layer of the eye converts visible light into nerve impulses?
I am pretty sure it is the retina.The retina not only is used for focusing but also The sides of the ''retina'' are responsible for our peripheral vision. The center area, called the macula, is ''used'' for our fine central vision and color vision. Are you referring to optical nerve impulses?
How does the eye produce images?
When light is passed through the lens and cornea, it is focused to a portion in the back of your eye. This light, not looking at it as a picture but a beam of light, is then shone on to a patch of photoreceptors that make up the retina. This is the most important part of the eye because this retina is responsible for changing the physical energy, light, into electrical energy, neural impulses. So when this light hits the retina the photoreceptors, like the rods and cones that produce color and shape, they take that energy and transduction it into electrical energy. This energy is them passed through the back of the eyes by the neural cords that attach to the eyes and sent to the brain. Once the eyes send that energy and it reaches the brain, it is sent to the visual association area of the brain, either in the pre-frontal cortex or another area around there (A little unsure). From there this association area takes those neural impulses that the retina created and pieces together pictures. Then from the information that was given to this area it can associated those neural impulses as certain objects or colors and you then can perceive the picture you are seeing. Thank, TS
How is light converted into nerve impulses?
retina
Does the neural layer of the retina prevent excessive scattering of light within the eye?
False.
The receptor cells that convert light energy into neural signals are called?
Bipolar cells
Which part of the eye converts light into electrical energy?
The retina converts light into nerve impulses, which are NOT electrical in nature.
