Overview

Sensory receptors are cells that detect and transduce external stimuli into the body. They act as the body’s sensors, allowing us to sense our environment and respond to it in a wide range of ways. They play a key role in maintaining homeostasis, by detecting changes in the environment and triggering the appropriate physiological responses. Receptors are located throughout the body, and can be classified based on their specific sensory modality, such as vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch. They have a wide range of applications in both research and everyday life, from providing feedback in medical diagnostics and treatments, to helping us interact with our surroundings.
