    Glossary Sensory Cells

    specialized cells that detect and convert stimuli into signals

    Sensory cells are specialized cells that detect and respond to various types of stimuli, such as touch, sound, light, and chemicals, and then convert these stimuli into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. For example, in the skin, sensory cells called mechanoreceptors detect pressure and vibration, while in the eyes, photoreceptor cells respond to light. These cells play a crucial role in helping organisms perceive and interact with their environment.
