somatic receptors and special receptors
Tonic receptors have little to no adaptation while phasic receptors adapt fast!
Olfactory receptors
they are called receptors.
Silent receptors are a proportion of total receptors that are to be occupied before there is any response. It is an model and these are not a distinct subgroup of receptors.
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors
More cool receptors than warm receptors in the skin.
Chemoreceptors
Phasic receptors
The sensory receptors for your nose is the semicircular canals and the cochlea
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
