Difference between Color and Photoreceptor cell

Color vs. Photoreceptor cell

Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the characteristic of human visual perception described through color categories, with names such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple. A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Similarities between Color and Photoreceptor cell

Color and Photoreceptor cell have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Color vision, Cone cell, Electromagnetic radiation, Human, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Light, Luminous intensity, Opponent process, Retina, Rod cell, Trichromacy, Wavelength.

Color vision

Color vision is the ability of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect, emit, or transmit.

Cone cell

Cone cells, or cones, are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye).

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

Human

Humans (taxonomically Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina.

Lateral geniculate nucleus

The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a relay center in the thalamus for the visual pathway.

Light

Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Luminous intensity

In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye.

Opponent process

The color opponent process is a color theory that states that the human visual system interprets information about color by processing signals from cones and rods in an antagonistic manner.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Rod cell

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.

Trichromacy

Trichromacy or trichromatism is the possessing of three independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the three different types of cone cells in the eye.

Wavelength

In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

Color and Photoreceptor cell Comparison

Color has 167 relations, while Photoreceptor cell has 107. As they have in common 12, the Jaccard index is 4.38% = 12 / (167 + 107).
