Cones
one of the major sensory receptors that is responsible for responding the chemicals
chemoreceptors
At rest neurons are _____ charged on the inside and there is a ______ charge outside the cell
negative / positive
When the charges of neurons are changed this is known as _____
depolarization
These two structures are responsible for maintain the structure of the eye
Photoreceptors turn that light energy into nerve impulses and then send those nerve impulses through this structure
Optic Nerve
