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? Please answer.. brave answer will be marked as brainliest

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

Receptors are sensory structures (organs/tissues or cells) present all over the body. The receptors are either grouped in case of eye or ear, or scattered in case of skin. 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.

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

♤ 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
