Resource summary
Classification by stimuli detected
Mechanoreceptors
found in skin, walls of blood vessels, stomach, bladder, ear
detect pressure or strecth
touch, pressure, vibration, hearing, proprioception (muscle belly), equilibrium & blood pressure
Pressure is a sustained sensation felt over a larger area than touch
Result from tactile receptors in deeper tissues & longer lasting & less variation in intensity than touch sensations
type II cutaneous mechanoreceptors & lamellated (Pacinian) corpuscles
Vibration sensations result from rapidly repetitive sensory signals from tactile receptors
Thermoreceptors
detect temperature
Nociceptors
Detect damage to tissues (pain)
Photoreceptors
detect light
Chemoreceptors
Detect molecules
taste, smell & changes in body fluid chemistry
