    Study Notes

    Skin Receptors

    • Skin receptors, also called cutaneous receptors, detect external stimuli and convert them into nerve impulses for the brain to interpret.
    • Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical stimuli like pressure, vibration, and texture.
    • Thermoreceptors detect changes in temperature.
    • Nociceptors detect harmful stimuli and signal them to the brain as pain.
    • Pressure, Pain, and touch are detected by different types of receptors, which then signal the brain
