Sensory receptors translate physical energy into neural signals.
Functions as a sensory receptor for touch.
Yes the sensory receptor is the first element.
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
Photoreceptor
The receptor!

Eyes: The sensory receptor in the eyes is the photoreceptor cell, specifically the rods and cones, which detect light and color. Nose: The sensory receptor in the nose is the olfactory receptor, located in the olfactory epithelium, which detects odor molecules. Tongue: The sensory receptors in the tongue are taste buds, which contain taste receptor cells that detect different tastes like sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami. Skin: The sensory receptors in the skin include mechanoreceptors (detect touch and pressure), thermoreceptors (detect temperature), nociceptors (detect pain), and proprioceptors (detect body position and movement).
Nerve receptor is a specialized cell or nerve endings that respond to sensory stimuli.

Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
