The number of dendritic endings present
The criteria used to classify sensory receptors depends on the type of nerve signals associated with the sensory receptors. Olfactory receptors read chemical signals and associate them with a corresponding smell, tastebuds read chemical signals and associate them with a corresponding taste ect..
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve
they are called receptors.
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
somatic receptors and special receptors
muscle spindles
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The layer of the skin that contains sensory receptors is the epidermis. There have been reports of the dermis also containing sensory receptors.
