What do receptors detect?
they detect the feelings of pain cold and so on
What are the receptors that detect changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors respond to temperature change.
Can You List 3 Stimuli And The Receptors Used To Detect Them?
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors
Special cell in the skin that allows us to sense pressure heat cold and pain?
idk about heat, cold or pressure, but pain receptors are called nociceptors.
What are nerve cells that detect conditions of the body's environment?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
What do receptors detect?
they detect the feelings of pain cold and so on
What gives the sensation of hot or cold to a body?
Sensory receptors gives the sensation of hot or cold to a body. For example, heat receptors detect warmth while cold receptors detect the cold.
What are the receptors that heat and cold called?
thermoreceptors
What are the receptors that detect changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors respond to temperature change.
What do the sensory receptors do?
They detect heat
What do nerve receptors in the skin detect?
The skin is sensitive to heat, cold, extreme temperature (hot or cold), pressure, pain/irritation and vibrations.
Can heat and cold receptors judge actual temperature?
There are only heat receptors. "Cold" is a low level of heat.
Can You List 3 Stimuli And The Receptors Used To Detect Them?
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors
Are cold or heat receptors more numerous?
More cool receptors than warm receptors in the skin.
Are receptors more numerous when they respond to heat or cold?
cold receptors are more numerous
How does a grasshopper sense heat?
Insects like grasshoppers have heat receptors in their body to detect heat. They also have antennas which help them detect movement and vibrations.
Special cell in the skin that allows us to sense pressure heat cold and pain?
idk about heat, cold or pressure, but pain receptors are called nociceptors.
