Question 74 Marks
Distinguish between : Extero and entero receptors.
Answer
Exteroceptors Interoceptors
1. Receptors receiving stimuli from outer environment of the body are called exteroceptors.1. Receptors receiving stimuli from inside the body are called interoceptors.
2. These are somatic receptors.2. These are visceral receptors.
3. Exteroceptors keep the body informed about . changes in the environment like temperature, pressure, touch, etc.3. Interoceptors keep the homeostasis in the body by receiving stimuli from inside the body.
4. Mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, chemical receptors, photoreceptors and statoacoustic receptors are the different types of exteroceptors.4. Propioceptors, enteroceptors, baroceptors are the different types of interoceptors.
