Question
Chapter 27, Problem 2PIT
Summary Introduction
To add:
The mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors to the concept map.
Concept introduction:
Mechanoreceptors are the sensory receptors in the skin of the human body which detects the touch and pressure. Chemoreceptors are responsible for the sense of smell and taste and based on the ability to detect the chemicals. Photoreceptors are the sensory receptors present in the retina of the eyes and are responsible for the sense of vision.
