MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your skin contains special sense receptors, called thermoreceptors, that gather information about the temperature of the environment and inform your brain. Thermoreceptors can register both heat and cold.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thermoreceptors are specialized nerve cells that are able to detect differences in temperature. Temperature is a relative measure of heat present in the environment. Thermoreceptors are able to detect heat and cold and are found throughout the skin in order to allow sensory reception throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Receptors on the skin Signals from the skin may be conveyed by physical change (mechanoreceptors), temperature (thermoreceptors), or pain (nociceptors). Sensory receptors exist in all layers of the skin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sense organ receptors – detect changes in the environment Sense organ receptors are a group of cells that detect changes in the environment (called stimuli) and turn them into electrical impulses. They are located in sense organs – the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.
