Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the different categories of sensory receptors: Exteroceptors, Nociceptors, Interoceptors, and Proprioceptors.
Exteroceptors are sensory receptors that detect stimuli from the external environment, such as touch, temperature, and light.
Nociceptors are specialized receptors that detect pain, which can be from external or internal sources.
Interoceptors provide information about the internal environment of the body, such as blood pressure and internal organ activity.
Proprioceptors are involved in sensing the position and movement of the body, providing information about the position of muscles and joints.
