The function of receptors is to detect the information from the environment. These are located in our sensory organs like eye, ear, skin, nose and tongue. For example- olfactory receptor detect the smell. If these receptors do not work correctly, there will be a delay in getting information from the environment to the brain or spinal cord. And due to this, the reaction of the information is also late, which cause harmful effect on our body.

For example,- if skin receptors are damaged, then we cannot get the heat as a stimulus. And if we accidentally touch the hot object, then our hands might get burn.
