NEET BIOLOGY

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: -Chemical stimuli can be detected by a chemoreceptors that detect chemical stimuli, such as a chemicals that lead to the sense of smell. Osmoreceptors respond to solute concentrations of body fluids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Detection of Stimuli Receptors are typically neurons or cells that are able to sense changes in the environment. For example: Photoreceptors in the eyes detect changes in light. Thermoreceptors detect changes in heat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skin receptors (known as mechanoreceptors and cutaneous receptors also) enable us to detect the location of the stimulus when an outer force (i.e., touch, pressure, stretching, vibration, motion) applied and deformed our skin (Table 3.4) Each of the receptors is sensitive a specific type of stimulus.
