. A receptor is an organ or cell able to respond to light, heat, or other external stimuli and transmit a signal to a sensory nerve.
The receptors are transducers. They convert any form of energy into electrical form. The output of all receptors is electrical energy.
In this video, Dr. Mobeen Syed explains the types of sensory receptors. These include mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, electromagnetic receptors, and chemo-receptors.
A mechanoreceptor is a sense organ or cell that responds to mechanical stimuli such as touch, pressure, and sound.
Mechanoreceptors are responsible for the transduction of touch-related stimuli.
A thermoreceptor is a non-specialized sense receptor, or more accurately, the receptive portion of a sensory neuron, that codes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range.
Chemoreceptor is a sensory cell or organ responsive to chemical stimuli. They detect carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pH levels in the blood.
Electromagnetic receptors respond to light energy, for example, rods and cones.
Nociceptors are sensory receptors for painful stimuli.
They are free nerve endings located all over the body, including the skin, muscles, joints, bones, and internal organs.
The purpose of a nociceptor is to respond to body damage by transmitting signals to the spinal cord and brain.
The following topics have discussed in the video:
* Definition of receptors
* Receptors as transducers
* Types of sensory receptors ...
