Detect changes in our surroundings and they're also known as transducers
1 of 5
What do receptor cells do?
They respond to a variety of stimuli e.g. pressure, temperature, light and sound by initiating an action potential

Give an example of a receptor, sense and form of energy this is received in
Rode/cone cells - sight - light, Taste buds - taste - chemical E, Ruffini's endings - temperature - heat

What is the process of the pacinian corpuscle?
Pressure on the skin increases, rings of concentric connective tissue deform, connective tissue pushes against nerve endings, action potential is generated
