bilateral

olfactory information is coed in receptor's cells through

hundreds of types of receptor's molecules each responsive to a different chemical

According to the trichromatic theory of color vision:

our perception of color depends on the relative activity of three types of cones

chemicals that release energy when struck by light are called

photopigments

a proprioceptor is sensitive to the

lateral geniculate and superior colliculus

Opsins; photopigments

modify the blank sensitively to different wavelengths of light

why do humans perceive faint light better in the periphery of the eye

more receptor's in the periphery than in the foreva funnel input to each ganglion cell.

they convert air waves into waves of greater pressure
