ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperature receptors (e.g., thermoTRP channels) in skin nerve endings of a whole body are molecules of the physiological thermostats. The mechanism of the temperature comparison in the thermostats’ molecules is a phase transition of these ion channels at a set-point.

Detailed explanation-2: -A thermoreceptor is a sensory receptor or, more accurately, the receptive portion of a sensory neuron that codes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermoreceptors. Thermoreceptors can be separated into receptors for warmth and cold detection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thermoreceptors give the body the ability to detect heat and cold in the environment. They exist throughout the skin to give the entire body its temperature sensing ability. More nerve endings exist in different parts of the body, which will also determine the sensitivity of the skin to temperature changes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thermoreceptors: As their name suggests, these receptors perceive sensations related to the temperature of objects the skin feels. They are found in the dermis layer of the skin. There are two basic categories of thermoreceptors: hot and cold receptors.
