Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thermoreceptors are specialized sensory receptors that respond to changes in temperature. They are responsible for relaying information about temperature changes to the brain, allowing us to detect sensations such as warmth, coldness, and fever. Endorphins are a type of neurotransmitter that are involved in pain perception and mood regulation, and have no direct involvement in temperature detection. Rods and cones are specialized cells in the retina of the eye that are involved in visual perception, and are not directly involved in temperature detection.
