Sensory cells

Sensory cells are specialized cells in your body that detect specific types of stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, or chemicals, and convert this information into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to your brain, allowing you to perceive and interpret the world around you. For example, sensory cells in your eyes detect light, those in your ears pick up sound waves, and cells in your skin sense pressure or temperature. They are essential for your senses, helping you respond appropriately to your environment and maintain overall health and awareness.
