Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory receptors. Sensory receptors have specialized functions, and respond to environmental changes in stimuli. Usually, activation of these receptors by stimuli causes graded potentials triggering nerve impulses along the afferent PNS fibers reaching the CNS.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory receptors occur in specialized organs such as the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, as well as internal organs. Each receptor type conveys a distinct sensory modality to integrate into a single perceptual frame eventually.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of various receptor nerve cells include rods and cones (vision), Meissner’s corpuscles (touch), olfactory cells (smell), hair cells (hearing), and gustatory cells (taste).
Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory receptors can be classified by location: Cutaneous receptors are sensory receptors found in the dermis or epidermis. Muscle spindles contain mechanoreceptors that detect stretch in muscles.
