Introduction

Disclaimer: As per Bartleby guidelines, we will answer only the first question. Kindly repost the remaining questions for answers.

Sense organs are extensions of the central nervous system that allow it to monitor what is happening within and outside the animal. Sensory receptors, which are specially modified nerve terminals, generate a nerve impulse (when stimulated by a suitable stimulus) that travels to the CNS and is interpreted. Sensory receptors respond to mechanical, thermodynamic, electromagnetic, and chemical stimuli.
