The nervous system helps your body to sense things around it by taking in input from receptor cells, which sense things, and transmit these signals at super-fast speeds to your brain, which processes the signals. These signals are then sent back through the nervous system to muscle cells or another form of output, such as salivary glands.
a receptor
The cells responsible for our sense of smell are called neurons, specifically olfactory receptor neurons. They are linked directly to the brain, and respond to different chemical signals to generate what we then perceive as smells and odors.
Visual information in the form of electrical signals travels along the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. These signals are generated by the photoreceptor cells in the retina and are then transmitted through the optic nerve to be processed in the visual cortex of the brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret what we see.
yes the auditory receptor cells are located in the anvil
The receptor cells that convert light energy into neural signals are called photoreceptor cells. These cells are located in the retina of the eye and are responsible for producing electrical signals in response to light stimulation.
receptor proteins
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.

a receptor
sensory nervous system. Each sensory organ contains millions of receptor cells (dendrites) that send cell signals to the brain through the process of cell signaling. in some cases signals are sent directly to the spinal cord.
the target cells have receptor proteins for the signals released by the nervous system.
It will only respond if it has a receptor for that signal
Nerves and brain cells in the brain send electric signals to each other to tell the body what to do.
