TYPES OF RECEPTORS IN HUMAN BODY :-

1.       Touch = Tangoreceptors (Thigmoreceptors)

2.       Temperature = Thermoreceptors

3.       Heat = Caloreceptors

4.       Cold = Frigidoreceptors

5.       Pain = Algesireceptors (Nociceptors)

6.       Current of water = Rheoreceptors

7.       Electric current = Galvanoreceptors

8.       Gravity = Georeceptors

9.       Muscle position = Proprioceptors

10.   Equillibrium = Statoreceptors

11.   Hunger,thirst. Etc = Interoreceptors

12.   Blood Pressure = Baroreceptors

13.   Osmotic pressure = Osmoreceptors

14.   Chemical Changes = Chemoreceptors

15.   Vibrations = Vibroreceptors

Specific Senses

a.       Vision = Photoreceptors

b.      Hearing = Phonoreceptors
