Animals are bombarded with sensory information, and the sheer volume of visual information can be problematic. Fortunately, the visual systems of species have evolved to attend to the most-important stimuli. The importance of vision to humans is further substantiated by the fact that about one-third of the human cerebral cortex is dedicated to analyzing and perceiving visual information.

Mechanoreceptors detect touch and body movement, while hearing involves structures like the eardrum. Vision is characterized in arthropods through compound eyes. Smell uses olfactory chemoreceptors in the nasal cavity. Additionally, some fish have electric organs for sensing electrical fields, and magnetoreceptors help animals navigate by detecting the Earth's magnetic field.

It elaborates on the specialized structures of these neurons that enable them to detect light and odorant ligands, respectively. The text details the molecular architecture of rod and cone photoreceptors and OSNs, emphasizing their similarities and differences.

It describes how the lens adjusts focus and how the retina's rods and cones process light, with rods enabling basic vision and cones responsible for sharpness and color detection.
