Senses: Sense Receptors

The video explains how sensory receptors in the body collect information and transmit it through nerve cells to the brain and spinal cord for processing. A response is then sent back to the body to trigger a reaction. The focus is on sensory organs, which gather information from the environment. Examples of sensory organs include the ears, eyes, nose, tongue, and skin, each responsible for specific senses that help us understand and interact with our surroundings.
