<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Receptors are present in all our sense organs. For example, in skin, eyes, nose, tongue, etc. They sense the external stimuli and send them to the brain in the form of electrical impulses. Some of the common and most used receptors in the human body are sight (vision), hearing (auditory), smell (olfactory), taste (gustatory) and touch (tactile).
