there are a lot of receptors in the body & each has a diff. function, depending on which their location depends.
would appreciate if you could be more specific, as to which kind of receptors you are looking for. to quote a few...
the baroreceptors.that control blood pressure are present in aortic arch & carotid sinus.
the histamine receptors...that control our reaction to Allergies & gasric acid production.H1 predominantly in skin & lung.H2 which stimulates acid production exclusively in gastric body & fundus.
then there are the muscarinic,nicotinic,adrenergic,chemoreceptors,serotonin,angiotensin,aldosterone,vasopressin,oxyticin,ant.pituitary hormone,etc...recptor.there are a lot of pathways that work using the stimulant-receptor mechanism.so be specific of the kind of receptors you are looking at.

How many different kinds of receptors are there for acetylcholine?
Two types, nicotinic and muscarinic
What molecule binds to the receptor to start the reaction inside the cell?
Cells have proteins called receptors that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a response.Different receptors are specific for different molecules. That means that they will respond only to that signal. Your eyes respond to light but your ears do not.There are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.
What are the five general areas of sensation?
General sensory receptors such as light touch and temperature receptors are located over the entire surface of the body. There are no specific areas where these receptors are located.
What are the two types of receptors in the skin that detect fine touch?
There are not tow types of sensory receptors in the skin there are many types of sensory receptors in the skin i.e., in the CUTANEOUS RECEPTORS of the MECHANORECEPTORS. They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs.
What do intracellular receptors do?
The intracellular receptors differ from membrane receptors based on their location. Membrane receptors are usually on the plasma membrane but the intracellular receptors are found inside the cell.
Do auditory receptors detect light?
No, auditory receptors do not detect light. Auditory receptors are sensory cells that respond to sound waves, which are pressure waves with frequencies between 16 hertz and 20,000 hertz. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from about 400 terahertz to 790 terahertz. Auditory receptors are located in the inner ear, in the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti, while light receptors are located in the retina of the eye. Therefore, auditory receptors and light receptors are different types of sensory cells that detect different types of stimuli.
What are your serotonin receptors?
5-HT receptors are the receptors for serotonin. They are located on the cell membrane of nerve cells and other cell types in animals.
What are three types of receptors?
There are four different types of receptors in the skin. There are merkel receptors, meissner corpuscles, ruffini cylinders and pacinian corpuscles.
How many different kinds of receptors are there for acetylcholine?
Two types, nicotinic and muscarinic
Which component of the eye contains visual receptors?
The eye's visual receptors reside within the retina. The eye's visual receptors consist of four different types of receptors including rods, blue cones, red cones and green cones.
What are the five different types of papillae?
Papillae are the receptors of taste that includes 4 types. Here are the 4 types of papillae: Fungiform, Filiform, Foliate, and Circumvallate papillae.
Where are hormone receptors for non- steroid hormone located?
where are receptors for non-steroid hormones located

That means that they will respond only to that signal. Your eyes respond to light but your ears do not.There are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.
Where are olfactory receptors located?
In vertebrates the olfactory receptors are located in the cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons. In insects olfactory receptors are located on the antennae and other chemo sensory organs.
Where are temperature receptors located in human body?
Sensory receptors for cold are located in the dermis, the are formally called free nerve endings.
What kind of sensory receptors are located everywhere in the body but the brain?
Pain Receptors
Which type or receptors are located everywhere in the body except for the brain?
pain receptors
