Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Receptors in internal viscera (organs) are
A
Exteroreceptor
B
Interoceptor
C
Chemoreceptor
D
Propioceptors
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interoceptors monitor the cardiovascular, digestive, reproductive, respiratory, and urinary systems. They provide signals to contract or distend visceral structures. General visceral afferent fibers carry interoceptive data from the receptors of visceral organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interoceptors respond to stimuli inside the body, including from blood vessels and internal viscera. They are also called visceroceptors, monitoring chemical changes, temperature, and tissue stretching. They may cause discomfort, pain, hunger, or thirst, but are usually not perceived.

Detailed explanation-3: -A sensory receptor that detects stimulus within the body. Examples of stimuli that would be detected by interoceptors include blood pressure and blood oxygen level.

Detailed explanation-4: -Exteroceptors: near the surface of the skin: the external, exposed parts of the body including, for example, the eyes, the nose, etc. Interoceptors: internal organs and tissues of the body (viscera and blood vessels). Proprioceptors: subcutaneous tissues of the body (muscles, tendons, joints, and skin).
