Examples of sensory receptor
sensory receptor
When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it normally elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The type of sensory receptor activated by a stimulus plays the primary role in coding the stimulus modality.

The vomeronasal organ is one of two locations in the mouse's nasal cavity that houses sensory receptor cells that detect pheromones.

The sensory receptor also underlies the response to a variety of environmental irritants, such as acrolein, the researchers report.
From the sciencedaily.com
Using a technique called calcium imaging, the team also studied whether pheromone candidates were able to directly activate sensory receptor neurons.
From the sciencedaily.com
They also found that the MUP protein is recognized exclusively in the vomeronasal organ, not in the main olfactory epithelium, and activates a specific type of sensory receptor neuron.
From the sciencedaily.com
In response to stimuli, the sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The axons of sensory receptor cells travel into the spinal cord or brain, where they transmit their signals to a first-order sensory nucleus dedicated to one specific sensory modality.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Each sensory neuron chooses one and only one receptor gene for expression.
