An introceptor is a type of sensory receptor that responds to stimuli originating from within the body, such as changes in internal conditions like temperature, pressure, or chemical composition. These receptors play a crucial role in monitoring physiological processes and maintaining homeostasis. Introceptors are distinct from extroceptors, which detect external environmental stimuli. Examples include baroreceptors that sense blood pressure changes and chemoreceptors that monitor blood pH and gas concentrations.
