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

Receptors are present in all parts of our body like skin, eye, ear, nose, tongue etc. They detect the signals and then send them to brain in the form of electrical signals. The brain then instructs a muscle or gland of the related organ to take necessary action. If these receptors fail to work, then they will not detect the input signal. This will affect the functioning of the respective organ. Eg: if the receptors in the eye fails, then the person cannot see anything and will be visually impaired. 5]
