Definition
English
:
Specialized
cells
that detect and transduce
light
. They are classified into two types based on their
light
reception structure, the ciliary photoreceptors and the rhabdomeric photoreceptors with
MICROVILLI
. Ciliary
photoreceptor cells
use
OPSINS
that activate a PHOSPHODIESTERASE cascade. Rhabdomeric
photoreceptor cells
use
opsins
that activate a PHOSPHOLIPASE C cascade.
