What is the function of receptors in our body? Think of situations where receptors do not work properly. What problems are likely to arise?

Solution:

Receptors are present throughout our body – mainly in sense organs. Receptors collect the information about changes that happen around us and send the signal/information to the brain which responds to the change detected. When receptors do not work properly, the environmental stimuli are not able to create nerve impulses and body does not respond.
