The figure shows a vertebrate photoreceptor cell, with the outer segment (containing the photopigment molecules) exposed to light. This is indicated by the arrows pointing towards the outer segment and the label "OS-outer segment." The inner segment and the synaptic terminal are shaded, suggesting that they are not receiving or transmitting signals at this moment. The caption "photoreceptor" and the fact that the cell has a specialized outer segment both support the idea that this is a cell that functions specifically to detect light.
