In Humans,which of the Following is Used Primarily to Detect

Question

In humans,which of the following is used primarily to detect light?
A) photoreceptor
B) proprioreceptor
C) chemoreceptor
D) mechanoreceptor
E) electroreceptor

Accepted Answer

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the retina of the eye that are responsible for detecting and converting light into neural signals that are processed by the brain to produce visual images. Proprioreceptors detect changes in body position and movement, chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli, mechanoreceptors detect mechanical stimuli such as touch and pressure, and electroreceptors detect electrical fields. Out of these options, only photoreceptors are primarily used for detecting light in humans.
