Step 1

Receptors are part of the sensory system; they help receive messages from other neurons and respond by transmitting electrical signals, which are subsequently transmitted to the brain and nervous system.

Receptors usually define that they are divided into a variety of shapes and sizes.
Chemoreceptors: Changes in the chemical absorption of a drug stir them up.
Damage to tissues stimulates pain receptors.
Thermoreceptors: Thermoreceptors are triggered by changes in temperature.
Mechanoreceptors are receptors that are stimulated by changes in movement or pressure.
Photoreceptors are photoreceptors that are triggered by light.
