Hey kiddo! Do you know what cells are? They are tiny living things that make up our bodies. Now, there is a specific type of cell that we call magnocellular cell. These cells are found in our eyes and they are responsible for helping us see things that are moving, like a car or a ball.
These cells have a special ability to detect changes in light, which helps us see movement. When we look at something that is moving, these cells send signals to our brain, telling it that something is moving. Then our brain takes this information and helps us understand what we are seeing.
Magnocellular cells are different from other cells in our eyes because they are larger and can pick up signals faster. This helps us react quickly to things that are moving, which is important for survival.
So, in short, magnocellular cells are like special cells in our eyes that help us see movement by detecting changes in light and sending signals to our brain.
