Expert Solution

Step 1

The visual system consists of the sensory organ (the eye) and parts of the central nervous system (the retina containing photoreceptor cells, the optic nerve, the optic tract, and the visual cortex) which give the organisms a sense of sight (the ability to detect and process visible light) as well as a number of non-image photo-response functions. It collects and interprets information from an optical spectrum that is perceptible to that species to "build a representation" of the surrounding world.
