What is inflammation and the steps in the process of inflammation? We often feel redness, heat, swelling and pain at the site of wounds. Actually this is bodyâs defence mechanism to destroy the pathogen. Tissue damage caused by wound or invading pathogenic organisms induces a complex sequence of events collectively known as inflammation.
A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire. Responses to a detected flame depend on the installation, but can include sounding an alarm, deactivating a fuel line (such as a propane or a natural gas line), and activating a fire suppression system.
In this lesson, we'll discuss how the skin detects changes in temperature through the use of specialized receptors known as thermoreceptors. Thermoreceptors and Temperature. Thermoreceptors are specialized nerve cells that are able to detect differences in temperature. Temperature is a relative measure of heat present in the environment. Thermoreceptors are able to detect heat and cold and are found throughout the skin in order to allow sensory reception throughout the body. The location and number of thermoreceptors will determine the sensitivity of the skin to temperature changes.
