Sense Organ
What is Sense Organ?
A group of receptor cells that responds to a particular stimulus, such as light, sound, touch, temperature or chemicals. A sense organ detects the stimulus and generates electrical impulses that travel along sensory neurones to the central nervous system, where they are interpreted.
This definition is part of the Coordination and Control chapter in Cambridge O Level Biology.
