Brit.

/ˌfəʊtə(ʊ)rᵻˈsɛptə/, U.S.

/ˈˌfoʊdərəˈsɛptər/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: photo- comb. form, receptor n.

Etymology: < photo- comb. form + receptor n., after photoreception n. Compare photoreceptive adj.

Biology.

Any structure in a living organism which responds to light; esp. a cell or group of cells capable of converting a visible light stimulus into an electrical signal in a nerve. Also in extended use.
