Question

Harshit Singh · Answer

Dear Student

The receptors in our body collect information about changes in the environment around us in the form of stimuli. They are located in our sense organs such as the inner ear, nose, tongue, eye, etc.
These then pass the information in the form of nerve impulses to central nervous system (spinal cord and brain) where message is interpreted and instructions are sent to effectors which reveal responses.
When receptors do not work properly, the environmental stimuli are not able to create nerve impulses and body does not respond.
