Sometimes, even when you consistently work hard, people can often overlook your efforts. You might have helped a colleague in a difficult project, presented a successful proposal, or came up with a great idea and yet you received no praise, appreciation, or recognition for your hard work. We've all been there at some point. You might have considered talking to your supervisor about it. But the problem is, it's very disappointing when you have to ask for recognition yourself.

What are Receptors Receptors are specialized cells in the sense organs, muscles, skin and joints that detect physical and chemical changes and translates these events into impulses and passes the electrical signals to connecting neurons . What is Stimulus Stimulus (or stimuli) is a form of physical energy inside or outside the body which initiates activity. The signal that travels up to the spinal cord until it reaches its receiving area in the cortex, with different receiving areas for different sensory modalities (electric signals results in sensory experience).

Peripheral Nervous System includes all nerve fibers and nerve cells not found in the CNS (spinal and cranial nerves). It conveys sensory information to and from the CNS to the muscles and glands. Two main divisions of Peripheral Nervous System 1. Somatic Nervous System (SNS) Somatic Nervous System is composed of 43 major pairs of nerves , which includes all the sensory systems and the motor nerves that activates the skeletal muscles responsible for movements. It receives sensory information from the sensory organs and controls the movements of the skeletal muscles. It comprises all voluntary and conscious movements. Cranial nerves (12 pairs) serve the sensory and motor functions of the head and neck region. Spinal nerves (31 pairs) serves the chest, trunk and extremities.
