Question

Qhat is the function of receptors. Think of situation where receptors donot work properly. What problems are likely to arise

Answer 1

Answer:

Cell receptors work in a similar way to football players: They receive signals and initiate a response. In biology, receptors are proteins or glycoproteins that receive signals by binding to signaling molecules, often called first messengers or ligands, that send a specific signal onward.

Explanation:

if they will not work we will not fell anything and we will become superhero

Answer 2

Explanation:

Functions of receptors:

→ They sense the external stimuli such as heat or pain.

→ They also trigger an impulse in the sensory neuron which sends message to the spinal cord.

When the receptors are damaged, the external stimuli transferring signals to the brain are not felt. For example, in the case of damaged receptors, if we accidentally touch any hot object, then our hands might get burnt as damaged receptors cannot perceive the external stimuli of heat and pain.
