Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary function of sensory receptors in the body. Sensory receptors are specialized to detect changes in the environment.
Understand that sensory receptors are part of the nervous system. They play a crucial role in sending signals to the nervous system in response to environmental stimuli.
Differentiate sensory receptors from other cell types. They are not involved in storing energy for muscle contractions, producing hormones, or transporting oxygen.
Recognize that sensory receptors are specialized cells, not structures for energy storage or hormone production.
Conclude that the correct description of sensory receptors is that they detect changes in the environment and send signals to the nervous system.
