Chapter 44.1, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The difference between the sensory receptor and membrane receptor.
Introduction: The senses allow an individual to know about its environment. A sense consists of systems that have specialized cells which help to detect a specific type of physical and chemical stimulus and send signals to the central nervous system.
