Sensory Receptors
Sensory receptors are specialized cells that detect changes in the environment and convert these changes into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain, allowing it to interpret the stimuli and respond appropriately. Sensory receptors play a key role in many important physiological processes, such as vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. They are also involved in the regulation of body temperature, body position, and muscle coordination. By detecting and responding to changes in the environment, sensory receptors help to keep organisms in balance and promote homeostasis.
