Sensory organelles are specialized structures within cells that detect and respond to external stimuli. In organisms, these may include sensory receptors such as photoreceptors in the eyes, mechanoreceptors in the skin, and chemoreceptors in the nose and tongue. They play a crucial role in translating environmental signals into neural impulses, enabling organisms to perceive and interact with their surroundings. In some unicellular organisms, sensory organelles like eyespots help detect light, aiding in navigation.
