(1) What is the function of a sensory receptor? (2) What is a exteroceptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (3) What is an interoceptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (4) What is a chemoreceptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (5) What is a pain receptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (6) What is a photoreceptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (7) What is a mechanooreceptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (8 What is a thermoreceptor? EXAMPLES TOO. (9) Explain sensation. (10) What is sensory adaptation?
 * are dendrites specialized to detect certain types of stimuli
 * are sensory receptors that detect stimuli from outside the body
 * such as taste vision, smell, hearing, and equilibrium
 * are sensory receptors that receive stimuli from inside the body
 * respond to blood pressure change, changes in water-salt balance, and monitor the pH of the blood
 * respond to chemical substances in the immediate vicinity
 * taste and smell
 * are a type of chemoreceptor that respond to chemicals released by damaged tissue
 * tell us about pain in the body and send it to the brain so we can fix it
 * respond to light energy
 * light rays and provide us with a sense of vision
 * are stimulated by mechanical forces which most often result in pressure
 * hear, airborne sound waves
 * are stimulated by changes in temperature
 * when temperature rises (warmth receptors) when temperatures are lower (cold receptors)
 * conscious awareness of a stimulus due to nerve impulses sent to the brain from a sensory receptors by way of sensory neurons
 * Phenomenon of a sensation becoming less noticeable once it has been recognized by constant repeated stimulation
