Specialiserade, afferenta nervceller med förmåga att omvandla sinnesintryck till aktionspotentialer (nervimpulser) för att sändas till centrala nervssystemet. Ibland kallas sensoriska receptorer för externa sinnesintryck exteroceptorer och för interna sinnesintryck interoceptorer och proprioceptorer.
Specialized afferent neurons capable of transducing sensory stimuli into NERVE IMPULSES to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Sometimes sensory receptors for external stimuli are called exteroceptors; for internal stimuli are called interoceptors and proprioceptors.
