Solution

Sensory receptors:

  1. Sensory receptors are located in the sensory organs that receive stimuli from external environments and trigger the sensory nerves.
  2. This allows the sensory nerves to pick the generated sensory impulses and transmit those to the central nervous system, where the information is processed.
  3. Hence, humans feel different senses, such as smell and light, with the help of sensory receptors.
