We received the men and their wives, the men and their mothers, the men and their grandmothers--but, in place of their unmarried daughters, elaborate excuses, offered with a shameless politeness wonderful to see.
Sensory neurons that monitor position and movement of body parts. Respond to degree of stretch of the organs they occupy. Monitor how much organs containing these receptors are stretched. Include muscles, tendons, and joint capsules. They can determine how much force is being applied to your limbs allowing you to pick something up without crushing it or dropping it.
Receptors. Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They can detect changes (stimuli) in the environment. Receptors are often located in the sense organs, such as the ear, eye and skin.Each organ has receptors sensitive to particular kinds of stimulus. The table shows some receptors and the stimuli they detect.he sense organs contain receptors that are sensitive to stimuli. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system-brain and spinal cord-and peripheral nerves. Nerve impulses travel through the axons of neurones-nerve cells.
