Receptors -
1. Chemoreceptors
Olfactory receptors - smell
Gustatory receptors - taste
2. Thermoreceptors
End bulb of Krause in skin - cold
Ruffini's organs in skin - heat
3. Mechanoreceptors
Proprioceptors (eg. Golgi Mazzoni) - sense of position of body parts
Algesireceptors (eg. Free nerve endings) - pain
Tangoreceptors (eg. Meissner's corpuscle, Merkel's disc) - touch, pressure
Phonoreceptors (eg. Organ of corti) - sound waves
Statoreceptors (eg. cristae and maculae) - balance
Rheoreceptors (eg. neuromast cells/lateral line sense organs in fishes) - pressure, water currents
4 Photoreceptors (retina) - light
