NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Each receptor is triggered by a specific stimulus. Thermoreceptors detect temperature changes. We are equipped with some thermoreceptors that are activated by cold conditions and others that are activated by heat. Warm receptors will turn up their signal rate when they feel warmth-or heat transfer into the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Thermoreceptors can include: Krause end bulbs, which detect cold and are defined by capsules; Ruffini endings, which detect warmth and are defined by enlarged dendritic endings; and warm and cold receptors present on free nerve endings which can detect a range of temperature.
