Question

What is the function of receptors and effectors in our body?

Answer 1

• Receptors receive the stimulus from the environment and send the message conveyed by them to the spinal cord and brain in the form of electrical impulses through the sensory nerves Example: Auditory receptor receives the sense of sound.
• An effector is a part of the body which can respond to a stimulus according to the instructions sent from the nervous system (spinal cord and brain). The effectors are mainly the muscles and glands of our body.
