(10) What is sensory adaptation?

1. A sensory receptor senses stimuli in the body.

2. An exteroceptor detects stimuli such as taste, smell, and vision.

3. An interoceptor responds to changes in blood pressure.

4. A chemoreceptor responds to chemicals in the body.

5. A pain receptor senses pain, such as damaged tissue.

6. A photoreceptor detects light energy, which enables vision.

7. A mechanoreceptor detects feeling in areas such as the hands. They allow us to do things with our hands and body.

8. A thermoreceptor senses changes in temperature in the body.

9. Sensation comes from feeling in sensory receptors, and then go to the brain.

10. Sensory adaptation is when the body becomes adapted to feeling a certain sensation, making the sensation less noticeable.
