In this article we will discuss about the major difference between Electroreceptors and chemoreceptors:
Difference between Chemoreceptors and Electroreceptors:
CHEMORECEPTORS:
1) Chemoreceptors is aspecialised sensory receptor which transduces (responds to) a chemical subsatance (endogenous or induced) and generates a biological signal.
2) A chemoreceptors detect toxic or hazardous chemicals in the internal or the external environment of the human body.
ELECTRORECEPTORS:
1) Electroreceptors are the sensory cells which can detect changes the electric field of the surroundings.
2) Electroreceptors used in Electrolocation (detecting object) and for electro communication.
