A specialized nerve cell that is designed to respond to a specific sensory stimulus. Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical compression or stretching of the receptor or of tissues adjacent to the receptor. Thermoreceptors detect changes in temperature. Nociceptors detect damage in tissues. E electromagnetic receptor detect light on the cornea of the eye. Chemoreceptors detect taste in the mouth, smell in the nose, oxygen level in the arterial blood, osmolality of the body fluids, and carbon dioxide concentration.
