click or tap the appropriate places in the image.
| receptor type | stimulus | sense(s) |
|---|---|---|
| photoreceptors | light | vision |
| mechanoreceptors | physical changes | touch, hearing, proprioception (body position), balance |
| thermoreceptors | moderate heat and cold | thermoreception (gradations of heat and cold) |
| pain receptors | injury, noxious chemicals, chemical and physical irritants | pain, itch |
| electroreceptors* | electrical fields (especially those generated by muscle contractions of other animals) | electrical sense |
| magnetoreceptors* | magnetic fields | magnetic sense |
Brief Explanations
Humans have chemoreceptors (for taste, smell, body chemical levels), photoreceptors (vision), mechanoreceptors (touch, hearing, balance, body position), thermoreceptors (heat/cold gradations), and pain receptors (pain, itch). Electroreceptors and magnetoreceptors (marked with *) are not known to be present in humans.
