sensory receptors detect changes(light levels, pressure on skin) in our surroundings. they convert one form of energy into another particular form of energy.
A sensory system includes the sensory receptors, neural pathways, and the parts of the brain which are involved in sensory perception. The senses act as the transducers from the physical world to the mind where the information gathered by the senses is interpreted.
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve

they are called receptors.
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
somatic receptors and special receptors
A transducer is device for converting a non-electrical signal into an elct one. The result is action potential Example: conversion of light energy into electrical signals in the retina of the eye
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Brain stimulus receptors are considered "selective transducers" by physiologists. The reason that they are referred to as this is that the receptors convert certain information by turning it to energy.
