It is the Vestibular System, a series of fluid filled tubes in the inner ear that connect with each other and the cochlear duct containing hair cells that detect changes in motion.

Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
What are the two types of receptors in the skin that detect fine touch?
There are not tow types of sensory receptors in the skin there are many types of sensory receptors in the skin i.e., in the CUTANEOUS RECEPTORS of the MECHANORECEPTORS. They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs.
Neurons that detect stimuli in the environment are known as?
Sensory (afferent) neurons
What are the somatic receptors?
Somatic receptors are a specialized type of receptor located near the surface of the body. These cells detect passive types of environmental stimuli, such as temperature, air currents, and barometric pressure. The receptors transmit the information to the sensory pathways via action potentials. The sensory pathways deliver the somatic (and visceral) information to the central nervous system.
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
What do the sensory receptors do?
They detect heat
. Which sensory receptors detect odors and tastes?
Chemoreceptors detect odors and tastes.
Specialized nerve endings on sensory neurons that detect changes inside and outside the body are called?
receptors
Detect changes of internal or external stimulus?
sensory receptors
What are sensory receptors that can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentrations?
chem
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 sensory receptors are found in the epidermis and detect light pressure and vibration?
Meissner's corpuscles
How does the sensory receptors act as transducers?
sensory receptors detect changes(light levels, pressure on skin) in our surroundings. they convert one form of energy into another particular form of energy.
Do auditory receptors detect light?
No, auditory receptors do not detect light. Auditory receptors are sensory cells that respond to sound waves, which are pressure waves with frequencies between 16 hertz and 20,000 hertz. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from about 400 terahertz to 790 terahertz. Auditory receptors are located in the inner ear, in the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti, while light receptors are located in the retina of the eye. Therefore, auditory receptors and light receptors are different types of sensory cells that detect different types of stimuli.
Can optic nerve impulses only be interpreted as light?
There are two types of sensory receptors: rods and cones. Rods detect light, and cones detect shape.
