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

Explanation

Functions of receptors are as given below.
1. These are nerve cells that sense the external stimuli such as heat or pain.
2. They also set up waves of impulse in the sensory neuron which sends message to the brain and spinal cord.
When the receptors are -damaged, the external stimuli transferring signals to the brain are not felt
For example, when receptors are damaged,
1. When we accidentally touch any hot object, then our hands might get burnt
2. A thorn or glass piece is pricked receptors cannot perceive the external stimuli of pain .
