Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
Mechanoreceptors are the sensory receptors that respond to the distortion or bending of tissue. They are specialized to detect mechanical stimuli such as pressure, vibration, and stretching in the body.
The three skin senses are touch, temperature, and pain. Touch receptors detect pressure, vibration, and texture, while temperature receptors detect hot and cold sensations. Pain receptors, called nociceptors, respond to tissue damage or injury.
The receptors that detect heat are called thermoreceptors, and the receptors that detect cold are called cold receptors. These receptors are specialized nerve cells that respond to changes in temperature and send signals to the brain to interpret these sensations.
They detect heat
Pain Receptors
The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.
Chemoreceptors detect odors and tastes.
The receptors that detect heat are known as thermoreceptors and they respond to increases in temperature. Conversely, the receptors that detect cold are also thermoreceptors but they respond to decreases in temperature. These thermoreceptors are specialized nerve endings located in the skin and other tissues of the body.
Simple receptors found in epithelia and connective tissue tend to detect physical stimuli such as pressure, touch, and temperature changes. They send sensory information to the brain via sensory neurons to help in the perception of the external environment.
