Detailed explanation-1: -In one, a neuron works with a sensory receptor, a cell, or cell process that is specialized to engage with and detect a specific stimulus. Stimulation of the sensory receptor activates the associated afferent neuron, which carries information about the stimulus to the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Various types of receptors in the body respond to stimuli and generate nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain and spinal cord through sensory neurons. Brain and the spinal cord process the nerve impulses and the corresponding information is transmitted to the effector organs through motor neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory signals first enter the brain through the thalamus (except for olfaction, which bypasses this area). From there, it is routed to a sense-specific area of the cortex. Cortical areas, in turn, send signals to the brain’s “association areas, ‘’ which combine information from multiple senses.
