Summary Introduction
To explain:
The general types of structural complexity of sensory receptors and also identify all sensory receptors are associated with what factors.
Concept introduction:
The sensory receptors are the nerves which are stimulated by any reaction and create nerve impulse to send information to the brain. Sensory receptors may be of many types such as touch receptors and as sensory organs.
