What is a specialized nerve endings in sensory nuerons that detect changes inside and outside the body called?

Specialized nerve endings in sensory neurons that detect changes inside and outside the body are called sensory receptors. These receptors can respond to various stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and chemicals, sending signals to the brain for interpretation.

What is the difference between somatic sensory neurons and visceral sensory neurons?

Somatic sensory neurons detect stimuli from the skin, muscles, and joints. Visceral sensory neurons detect stimuli from internal organs such as the heart, lungs, and intestines. Both types of neurons transmit sensory information to the central nervous system for processing.


What are neurons that detect stimuli in the environment?

They are nerves. These nerves tell us exactly what we feel, and then send that information to the brain.
