Detailed explanation-1: -neurons are nerve cells that transmit sensory information (sight, sound, feeling, etc.)
Detailed explanation-2: -The sense organs contain groups of specialised cells called receptor cells which produce electrical impulses in response to specific stimuli.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory receptors exist in all layers of the skin. There are six different types of mechanoreceptors detecting innocuous stimuli in the skin: those around hair follicles, Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner corpuscles, Merkel complexes, Ruffini corpuscles, and C-fiber LTM (low threshold mechanoreceptors).
Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory Receptors. Sensory receptors are nerve endings or specialised cells which convert (transduce) stimuli from the environment into afferent nerve impulses; the impulses pass into the CNS where they initiate appropriate voluntary or involuntary responses.
Detailed explanation-5: -The raw form in which receptors send information to the brain is called sensation. The way our brains interpret this information is called perception. Explain how sensory receptors stimulate sensory impulses. Sensory receptors can either be nerve endings or special cells located next to them.
