°receptor structure
°receptive field
°receptor 's adaptation profile

Sensory nervous system sensory processing of stimulation sensory receptor transduction of the stimulus transmission of sensory and perception signal of integration senses general. Pain temperature touch pressure vibration proprioception sensory special signal senses taste smell vision hearing. Equilibrium sensory receptors are differentiated on the bias of : receptor "s labelled line connection to. Cns receptor specificity receptor receptive structure field receptor. Mechanoreceptors are composed of pacinian corpuscles , ruffini. Receptive fields - and number of receptors disks two point discrimination determined by size of receptive field spinothalmic tracts crude touch and pressure ( anterior tract. , pain , temperature ( lateral tract cross in cord spin cerebella r at entry level tracts : pro prioception ; either does not cross or crosses twice.
