eyes, nose and mouth ears

The proprioceptors are the sensory receptors and the end of the sensory nerves.
The sensory receptors for the eyes are the optic nerve and the retina. The sensory receptor for the nose are the olfactory nerves.
sensory nerves
The nervous system.
Sensory nerves
Sensory nerves, or the receptor nerves, as they are only made up of sensory neurons. Receptors are the specialised structures at the end of the sensory nerves that receive the stimuli and convert it into an electrical signal to be conducted by the nerve as a nerve impulse.
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
The layer of the skin that contains sensory receptors is the epidermis. There have been reports of the dermis also containing sensory receptors.
It transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors which control their activity.
nerves our individual cells-neurons
C fiber sensory nerves have small diameter unmyelenated axons and carry the signals from pain receptors.
