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 ☺️
