Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receptors are specialized cells that are sensitive to specific stimuli like light, sound, touch, temperature, etc. They detect the stimuli and generate nerve impulses that are transmitted to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing and interpretation. Thus, receptors play a crucial role in our sensory perception and help us to interact with the environment around us. Refractors are not a relevant term in this context. Effectors are cells or tissues that respond to nerve impulses and produce a specific effect like muscle contraction or secretion of a gland. Transmitters are chemicals that allow the passage of signals between neurons or from a neuron to a muscle or gland.
