They are located in the back of the eye, the retina. But you should have asked in which direction do they "look"? They aren't oriented towards the nose, but rather towards the back of the head! We see reflected light.

What happens in the body when you eat something cold?
Thermoreceptors in the nerve cells of the mouth respond to temperature of objects. When these receptors are activated, ion channels are opened and action potentials are sent to the central nervous system. Cool objects/food activates these thermoreceptors. However, if something that is too cold enters the mouth, nociceptors will be activated. These receptors register pain and inform the central nervous system that the object is harmful.
What organ system allows the body to send and respond to the world around it?
