Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are neurons in the nervous system, that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials. This process is called sensory transduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perception is dependent on sensation, but not all sensations are perceived. Receptors are the structures (and sometimes whole cells) that detect sensations. A receptor or receptor cell is changed directly by a stimulus.
