A cell that?responds?to a?stimulus?is called a?receptor cell
Receptor cells are?transducers?– they?convert energy?in one form (such as light, heat or sound) into energy in an?electrical impulse?within a sensory neurone
Receptor cells are often found in?sense organs?(eg. light receptor cells are found in the eye)
Some receptors, such as light receptors in the eye and chemoreceptors in the taste buds, are specialised cells that detect a specific type of stimulus and influence the electrical activity of a sensory neurone
Other receptors, such as some kinds of touch receptors, are just the ends of the sensory neurones themselves
When receptors cells are stimulated they are?depolarised
If the?stimulus?is very?weak, the cells are?not sufficiently depolarised?and the sensory neurone is not activated to send impulses
If the?stimulus?is?strong?enough, the sensory neurone is?activated?and?transmits impulses to the CNS
