Document Summary
A sensory receptor is a cell that is specialized to detect incoming sensory stimuli. Membrane of sensory receptor cells contain specific receptor proteins that are specializes to detect incoming signals. What are the two types of sensory receptors: some sensory receptors are afferent neurons (sensory neurons, other sensory receptors send a signal to an afferent neuron. What are the 4 structural classes of neurons: multipolar. Vision: exteroreceptors: stimuli on the outside of the body (ex. Blood pressure: proprioreceptors: position and orientation of the body (ex. Generalized receptors in the skin and muscle, vestibular apparatus of the inner ear) An adequate stimulus is the type of way a receptor prefers to be stimulated. Some receptors though can be stimulated by multiple stimuli. Your eye perceives light, but if you press on your eye hard enough it can stimulate the photoreceptors and you can see light.
