These receptors detect electrical pulses emitted by potential prey.

Warm receptors located in the nose may then optimally detect outside sources of infrared radiation.

The receptors, which are nerve endings in your nasal passageways, detect an irritant.

These receptors are particularly receptive to their own electrical fields, and can detect perturbations caused by foreign objects.

The receptors aboard the Wolverines detect the pulses, and all four vehicles slow to a halt in recognition of their simulated destruction.

Sensory receptors all over the body detect sensations such as pressure, itching, and pain.

According to the shape theory, each receptor detects a feature of the odor molecule.

A receptor, or nerve ending, detects a threat or an event that requires the body's immediate attention.
