What is the function of receptors in our body think of situations
Receptors convert Energy into an impulse (chemical and electrical change that occurs along a nerve fiber as a result of stimulation).
They are basically divided into two: cell surface receptors and intracellular receptors. The receptors in our sense organs are:
-
Mechanoreceptor (senses pressure)
-
Pain receptor (senses pain)
-
Thermoreceptor (senses heat)
-
Photoreceptors (senses light)
-
Chemoreceptors (senses chemicals)
