What happens if receptors are not present in
Answers
The information sensed is detected by the specialised types of nerve cells known as receptors. The receptors in the form of cells , tissues and organs receive stimuli and cause the sensory nerves to pick the impulses.
Receptors sense the external stimuli , such as heat and pain. They also trigger an impulse in the form of an electrical signal which sends message to the brain or spinal cord . If the receptors fail to work properly , no message would get conveyed to the brain and all the necessary functions would stop in the body , which may even lead to death . For example , in case of damaged receptors , if we accidentally touch any hot object , our hands would get burnt as damaged receptors would not be able to perceive the external stimuli of heat and pain .
