Neurosensory Cells
Neurosensory cells are specialized cells in the nervous system that play a crucial role in sensing and processing sensory information. They are found in various sensory organs, such as the retina in the eye and the cochlea in the ear. These cells convert external stimuli, like light and sound, into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
These cells include types like photoreceptors, which detect light, and hair cells, which respond to sound vibrations. By transforming sensory input into neural signals, neurosensory cells enable organisms to perceive their environment and react accordingly.
