Question
Chapter 40.2, Problem 1CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The term thermoreceptors, and the way in which thermoreceptors respond to change in temperatures.
Introduction:
Thermoreceptors sense the temperature changes that occur in the skin. They stimulate in response to heat or cold. Free nerve endings present in the skin and oral cavity senses the external temperature change.
