Detailed explanation-1: -Thermoreceptors primarily sensitive to cold have increased activity at temperatures cooler than the neutral skin temperature (about 34 °C [93 °F]), and thermoreceptors primarily sensitive to warmth have increased activity at temperatures warmer than neutral skin temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -ThermoTRP channels are multimodal receptors that respond to both temperature and chemical compounds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thermoreceptors are specialized parts of neurons, or nerve cell endings, that give the body the ability to detect changes in temperature. Temperature is defined as the relative degree of heat that is present in the environment. Thermoreceptors give the body the ability to detect heat and cold in the environment.
