Question

What is the thermoreceptors function??

Answer 1

Answer:

Thermoreceptors are specialized nerve cells that are able to detect differences in temperature.

Thermoreceptors are important for the process of homeostasis, which is the tendency of the body to maintain a stable internal condition.

Answer 2

Answer:

A thermoreceptor is a non-specialised sense receptor, or more accurately the receptive portion of a sensory neuron, that còdes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range. For cold receptors their firing rate increases during cooling and decreases during warming.
