Heat sensors are good but can give false positives if there is a sudden change in ambient temperature.

What do the sensory receptors do?
They detect heat
How can heat be transferred through matter by the collision of atoms?
Since that's what heat is (the motion of atoms), how better to transfer than by random collisions? yes.
In sensory function sensation may be described as?
In sensory function, sensation may be described as somatic. The somatic sensory system incorporates the sensations of heat, cold, touch and pain.
Machines and living things can convert stored energy into what?
motion and heat
What do peripheral nervous system sensory receptors do?
Sensory receptors provide the connection between the stimulus such as heat, cold, and pain and the CNS.
What motion of energy does the motion of atoms and molecules produce?
heat...
What is motion of molecules?
Heat.
Is heat conducted better the farther apart the molecules in a substance are?
No, heat is the kinetic energy of molecules, the further apart they are the more difficult it is for them to hit one another so as to pass on the motion energy.
What is shivering a sign of?
Shivering is a sign of loss of heat or decreased heat levels.
What are sensory receptors of the skin?
They are specialized cells that respond to stimuli AND energize nerve cells that send data to your brain. As to what kinds there are: they include heat and cold (that's two seperate types) touch and pressure, piloreceptors (motion of the hairs on your skin).

How does the kinetic theory of the matter relate to heat transfer?
Kinetic theory and Heat transfer are both in motion, in Kinetic theory all states of matter are in vigorous motion and Heat transfer is associated with the motion of atoms or molecules.
