"Cellular receptors" refers to specific molecules found on the surface of cells that receive signals or messages from various substances in the body. These receptors act like a lock, and when the right substance (key) binds to them, they trigger specific responses or actions within the cell. It's like a communication system that helps cells interact with their environment and perform their functions.
