Step 1
The body can understand the outside environment through sensory systems that consist of sensory receptors. These receptors are present in special organs like ears, eyes, mouth, nose, internal organs, and skin. These receptors transmit a signal through fibers to the brain, which accordingly respond towards the stimulus.
