Detailed explanation-1: -Cutaneous receptors Four receptor structures of the glabrous skin provide this information: Merkel discs, Meissner corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, and Ruffini endings.
Detailed explanation-2: -Receptors are proteins, usually cell surface receptors, which bind to a substance (eg. a cytokine) and cause responses in the immune system. Receptors can be found in various immune cells like B cells, T cells, NK cells, monocytes and stem cells, etc. Human receptor partipates in maintaining our normal life activities.
Detailed explanation-3: -You can classify cells based on their morphology, location or by what kind of stimulus they respond to. It is common to group them into 5 classes: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, electromagnetic receptors and chemoreceptors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chemoreceptors respond to chemicals in taste and smell and in internal changes. Thermoreceptors respond to temperature changes. Mechanoreceptors respond to physical forces in touch, hearing, and pressure. Photoreceptors respond to light. Nociceptors respond to tissue damage (pain).
