Function of receptors: Receptors are the specialised tips of some nerves. They are usually located in our sense organs like the nose, the inner ear, the tongue etc.
The function of receptors is to detect information from the environment.
For example, gustatory receptors detect taste while olfactoreceptors detect smell.
If receptors do not work properly, the information obtained from the environment will be delayed to reach the spinal cord or brain. In this situation, the response to the environmental stimulus be delayed causing harm to the body.
For exampe, touching a hot object is dangerous situation. If receptors for the sensation of touch are not working properly , then the response may be delayed and we may get burnt.
