THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Our somatosensory system has three basic types of sensory receptors that detect different types of external stimuli. These include mechanoreceptors that detect light touch, vibration, pressure, and texture; nociceptors that detect pain; and thermoreceptors that detect temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mechanoreceptors, also called mechanoceptors, are specialised neurons that respond to mechanical pressure and distortion. They are innervated with sensory neurons that convert mechanical pressure into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the central nervous system.
