Solution
Functions of receptors:
- They sense external stimuli such as heat or pain.
- They are located in our sense organs, such as the inner ear, nose, tongue, eye, etc.
- They also trigger an impulse in the sensory neuron, which sends a message to the spinal cord.
- The receptors in our body collect information about changes in the environment around us in the form of stimuli.
