Types of sensory receptors
They detect mechanical, chemical, light, temperature, or balance stimuli.
Mechanoreceptors — function?
Respond to mechanical stimuli like touch and pressure.
Sense organs and functions
Organs like the eye, ear, skin, nose, and tongue detect specific stimuli for perception.
Chemoreceptors — stimuli?
Detect chemical stimuli, including smell and taste.
Photoreceptors — function?
Respond to light, enable vision.
Vestibular receptors — role?
Detect movement and spatial orientation for balance.
Proprioception receptors — location?
In muscles, tendons, joints.
Kinesthetic receptors — purpose?
Sense muscle tension and joint position.
Sensory system classification — based on?
Type of stimulus detected.
