Step 1

Introduction:

The sensory receptors manage the internal and external stimuli. Every sensory receptor comprises a distinct receptive field via which there is a perception of the stimulus. Receptor fields are managed by free nerve endings or through the dendrites of the sensory nerve cells. Sensory receptors can respond to pain, light, touch, and chemicals. 

The skin serves as a sense organ as the three skin layers; namely, the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, comprise specialized sensory nerve structures responsible for detecting pain, surface temperature, and touch.
