All living organisms need to respond to changes in the environment. Although this happens in different ways the pattern of events is always the same:

stimulus > detection > co-ordination > response
 
Detecting the stimulus

Receptors are specialised cells that detect a stimulus. Their job is to convert the stimulus into electrical signals in nerve cells. 

Some receptors can detect several different stimuli but they are usually specialised to detect one type of stimulus:

light -  photoreceptors in the eye

sound - vibration receptors in the ears

touch, pressure, pain and temperature  - different receptors in the skin

taste and smell -  chemical receptors in the tongue and nose

position of the body - receptors in the ears

I hope it will help you ☺️
