Unique ID: D011984
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011984
Scope Note: Specialized afferent neurons capable of transducing sensory stimuli into NERVE IMPULSES to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Sometimes sensory receptors for external stimuli are called exteroceptors; for internal stimuli are called interoceptors and proprioceptors.
