Detailed explanation-1: -Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They detect a change in the environment stimulus. In the nervous system this leads to an electrical impulse being made in response to the stimulus. Sense organs contain groups of receptors that respond to specific stimuli.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sense organ receptors are a group of cells that detect changes in the environment (called stimuli) and turn them into electrical impulses. They are located in sense organs – the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.
Detailed explanation-3: -The skin possesses many sensory receptors in the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, which allows for discrimination of touch such as pressure differences (light vs. deep). Other qualities of the external world assessed by skin sensory receptors includes temperature, pain, and itch.
