The receptors for sound are the 'cilia' ... tiny hairs that line the inner surface of the cochlea in the inner ear. Sound vibrations are directed into the cochlea by means of the eardrum and the bones of the middle ear, where the cilia move mechanically and excite the nerve endings to which they're attached.

∙ 10y agoStereocilia in the inner ear detect variations of pressure of the endolymph, or the liquid inside the cochleae. Variations in frequency and intensity provoke different pressure variations, and that's what these cells detect. They're each linked to a nerve ending, which transmits the signal to the brain so that it may be processed into sound.

What type of sensors are used in water leak detection?
There are both active and passive sensors that are used in water leak detection. Passive systems sound an alarm usually involving sound to alert one to fix the leak. An active system is similar in it's alerting system but it also takes some automated actions to try and fix the leak.
What type of receptor monitor the fluid status in the body?
Osmoreceptors

the thermoreceptors
What type of stimuli is each receptor very sensitive to?
specific
