Study Notes
Types of Receptors
- Mechanical receptors detect mechanical stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and stretching.
- Chemical receptors detect chemical stimuli such as molecules in the air (smell) and in food and drinks (taste).
- Electromagnetic receptors detect electromagnetic radiation such as light and electromagnetic fields.
