To explain:
Why eating “hot” peppers cause a person to sweat.
Introduction:
The detection of stimulus with the help sensory cells is known as sensory reception. The sensory receptors is of two type generally, either they detect the stimuli from outside environment or they respond to the internal body stimuli and the activation of sensory receptor does not require large amount of energy for the stimulation. Thermo receptors are non specialized receptors that sense the change in the temperature for example certain snakes recognize the prey through thermo receptors which detects infrared radiation emitted by the body of warm prey.
