Question

What is the function of receptors in our body? Think of situations where receptors do not work properly. What problems are likely to arise?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Receptors are present in our all parts of the body for example in skin, eye, nose tongue etc. They detect the signals and then send them to brain in the form of electrical signals. If they these receptors are damaged then it they will not detect the input which leads to the harm for our body in dangerous situation.

Receptors are present over all parts of the body for example in skin, eye, nose tongue etc. They detect the signals and then send them to the brain in the form of electrical signals. If receptors are damaged then they will not detect the input which leads to the harm for our body in a dangerous situation.

✴Improper functioning of receptor✴

Receptors can become dysfunctional temporarily or sometimes permanently depending upon the level of exposure to a certain stimulus.

✴Example✴

➡️A laser beam entering directly into the eyes can burn the retinal cells and can make a person temporarily or permanently blind, depending upon the length of the period for which the exposure sustains. Similar is the case of burns.

➡️A mild burn can desensitize the skin for some time but a significant burn can cause a permanent loss of sensation in the burnt area.

➡️The associated problem includes loss of stimulus from that particular receptor, which is certainly not good for the coordination in the body.
