Summary Introduction
To write:
The difference between the sensory receptor and the cell surface receptors.
Introduction:
Receptors are chemical structures, composed of protein, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems. These signals are typically chemical messengers, which bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue response.
