Include muscles, tendons, and joint capsules. They can determine how much force is being applied to your limbs allowing you to pick something up without crushing it or dropping it.
The sensory receptors involved in taste and smell contain receptor molecules that bind to specific chemicals.Odor receptors in olfactory receptor neurons, for example, are activated by interacting with molecular structures on the odor molecule.ensory receptors respond to specific stimulus modalities. The stimulus modality to which a sensory receptor responds is determined by the sensory receptor's adequate stimulus.
