What do sensory receptors enable you to do?
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
What type of sensory receptors associated with smell and taste?
Chemoreceptors
What is the sensory organ for smell?
"olfactory" They are chemical receptors, in your nasal sinuses.
What are the sensory receptors that are responsible for sensations of smell and taste?
chemoreceptors
What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
What receptors sends messages to your brain which allows you to smell?
thalamus (novanet)
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
What is the sensory receptor in the eyes What is the sensory receptor in the nose What is the sensory receptors in the tongue What is the sensory receptors in the skin?
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve
What are two classifications of sensory receptors?
There are many different sensory receptors, but olfactory receptors in the nose, and cones and rods in the eyes are two specific types of sensory receptors. Olfactory detects the chemical presence and your brain identifies it as a smell. The rods and cones of the eye process light and color to form images that your brain processes as vision.
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What are the different senses of our body?
Sensory receptors are defined as dendrites of sensory neurons specialized for receiving specific kinds of stimuli without which we would not live long. The four general sense receptors are pain receptors, temperature receptors, touch receptors, and taste and smell receptors.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
