Descriptor English: Photoreceptor Cells, Invertebrate
Descriptor Spanish: Células Fotorreceptoras de Invertebrados
Descriptor células fotorreceptoras de invertebrados
Scope note: Células de los invertebrados que están especializadas en detectar y transducir la luz. Son predominantemente rabdoméricas que tienen una formación de microvellosidades fotosensibles. La iluminación despolariza a los fotorreceptores de los invertebrados mediante la estimulación del flujo de entrada de Na+ a través de la membrana plasmática.

Scope note: Specialized cells in the invertebrates that detect and transduce light. They are predominantly rhabdomeric with an array of photosensitive microvilli. Illumination depolarizes invertebrate photoreceptors by stimulating Na+ influx across the plasma membrane.
