Receptors are specialized cells located in sensory organs, which help detect stimuli.
- Eyes (photoreceptors): Detect light and help in vision. 👁️
- Ears (mechanoreceptors): Detect sound waves and help in hearing. 👂
- Skin (thermoreceptors): Detect temperature changes (hot/cold). 🌡️
- Nose (chemoreceptors): Detect chemicals in the air for smell. 👃
- Tongue (taste receptors): Detect different tastes. 👅
✅ Receptors convert external stimuli into signals that the brain can understand and react to.
