Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that sensory receptors are specialized cells or structures that detect changes in the environment and send signals to the nervous system.
Identify the different types of sensory receptors: thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, and mechanoreceptors, each responding to specific stimuli.
Thermoreceptors respond to changes in temperature, detecting heat or cold.
Chemoreceptors respond to chemical stimuli, such as changes in the concentration of substances like oxygen or carbon dioxide.
Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical forces, such as pressure, vibration, or touch, detecting changes in the physical environment.
