Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which stereoscopic vision provides depth perception.

Concept introduction: The important organs of the visual system of the body are the eyes. These organs help the organism in vision and they have the ability to collect and process the visual details. The sense of vision within the eyes uses photoreceptors to detect light, color, and movement to observe the visual images of the environments. The physiology of vision is expressed as the light that enters the eye is converted into electrical signals. Then, the electrical signals are transmitted to the brain for interpretation and integration.
