Characteristics of receptor cells include;

  • Transduction; receptor cells are capable of changing physical stimuli into an electrical impulse.
  • Sensitivity; receptor cells are able to detect the slightest change in their environment (stimulus)
  • Adaptation; if a stimulus is maintained, receptor cells are able to adapt to it so that the stimulus no longer causes an impulse, however strong it is.
  • Inhibition; receptor cells can be stopped from firing impulses by special synaptic connections. As a result, certain impulses are transmitted only when required.
  • Precision; receptors are able to transmit the information precisely without alteration.
