Question

Which term best describes receptors that detect stimuli from internal organs?
A)Interoceptors
B)Exteroceptors
C)Proprioceptors
D)Nociceptors

Accepted Answer

Interoceptors are receptors that detect stimuli from internal organs, such as the receptors that detect changes in blood pressure or pH levels. Exteroceptors detect stimuli from the external environment, proprioceptors detect stimuli related to body position and movement, nociceptors detect pain, and thermoreceptors detect changes in temperature.
