Specialized sensory receptors found in the cochlea are called hair cells. They are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve. Hair cells are crucial for hearing and play a key role in our ability to detect and process sound.
Pacinian corpuscles are the sensory receptors found in the greatest number in the skin. They are responsible for detecting pressure and vibration stimuli.
as sensory epithelia. These epithelia are found in specific sensory organs such as the olfactory epithelium for smell, the taste buds for taste, the retina for sight, the macula and cristae in the inner ear for equilibrium, and the cochlea in the inner ear for hearing. They are highly specialized to detect and transmit sensory information to the brain.
Somatic receptors are a specialized type of receptor located near the surface of the body. These cells detect passive types of environmental stimuli, such as temperature, air currents, and barometric pressure. The receptors transmit the information to the sensory pathways via action potentials. The sensory pathways deliver the somatic (and visceral) information to the central nervous system.
Touch receptors detect mechanical stimuli such as pressure, vibration, and temperature. These specialized receptors are found in the skin and relay information to the brain about various sensations related to touch.
There are no known receptors that are found everywhere throughout the body, but not in the skin. Receptors present in the skin include various sensory receptors such as mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, and others that are responsible for detecting touch, temperature, and pain.
In the cochlea
The hair cells are the auditory receptors located in the cochlea. These receptors are found in the organ of Corti.
The olfactory receptor is found in the nose.
Pacinian corpuscles are the sensory receptors found in the greatest number in the skin. They are responsible for detecting pressure and vibration stimuli.
The dermis layer of the skin is composed of thousands of sensory receptors, including touch receptors, temperature receptors, and pain receptors. These receptors help you to feel sensations and respond to your environment.

Both of these are in the ear. The semi-circular canals help you to balance and the cochlea transmits nerve signals to the brain. This is how you hear. The inner ear is subdivided into the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. The semicircular canals and cochlea are separate structures with different functions. The receptors for balance are in the semicircular canals, and the organ of Corti (the organ of hearing) is in the cochlea.
Touch receptors detect mechanical stimuli such as pressure, vibration, and temperature. These specialized receptors are found in the skin and relay information to the brain about various sensations related to touch.
