What receptors respond to stimuli of hunger thirst pressure of blood and body balance is received by?
Receptors that respond to hunger and thirst are primarily chemoreceptors, which detect changes in nutrient levels and osmotic pressure. Blood pressure is monitored by baroreceptors, which sense changes in the stretch of blood vessel walls. For body balance, proprioceptors in muscles and joints provide information about body position and movement. Together, these receptors help maintain homeostasis by signaling the brain to initiate appropriate responses.
