Question

state the function of receptors in our body think of any three situation where receptors in the body do not work properly mention the problems which are likely to arise

Answer 1

♤ The fuction of receptor in our body is to collect information about changes in the environment.

♤ Receptors pass this information to central nervous system where message is interpreted and appropriate instruction are send to effector which reveals response.

♤ these receptor are located in our sense organs.If receptor do not work properly, our body cannot convert environmental stimuli into impulse and hence our body would not response

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.

1. 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.
