Answer:

  • We have 5 + 2 = 7 senses: Touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell, proprioception, and “interoception.”
  • “Percieving” neurons are called sensory receptors that are equipped with specialized nerve endings.
  • There are 5 types of stimuli that can be perceived by the skin: Touch, pressure, pain, temperature, and vibration.
  • Sensory receptors can be classified by the type of stimulus that generates a response in the receptor. Broadly, sensory receptors respond to one of four primary stimuli:
  1. Chemicals (chemoreceptors)
  2. Temperature (thermoreceptors)
  3. Pressure (mechanoreceptors)
  4. Light (photoreceptors)

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical forces. Photoreceptors detect light during vision. More specific examples of sensory receptors are baroreceptors, propioceptors, hygroreceptors, and osmoreceptors. Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies mediating vision, hearing, taste, touch, and more....
