The receptor, i.e in this case skin. The electrical impulse then travels down the sensory nerve.

Answer:

Sensory neuron

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the sensory neurons the individual captures stimuli and information from the surrounding environment and from his own body. The stimuli are transmitted as electrical impulses to the central nervous system. In turn, the central nervous system processes information, translating it into sensations and generating responses. This is how we see what is around us, feel when someone pinches us, perceive raindrops falling on our arm, taste the food, among many other sensations.
