Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding what thermoreceptors are. Thermoreceptors are specialized sensory receptors that respond to changes in temperature.
Consider the senses listed: vision, hearing, taste, and touch. Determine which of these senses involves detecting temperature changes.
Vision involves photoreceptors that respond to light, not temperature.
Hearing involves mechanoreceptors that respond to sound waves, not temperature.
Taste involves chemoreceptors that respond to chemical stimuli, not temperature.
Touch involves various receptors, including thermoreceptors, which detect temperature changes on the skin.
