Secondary Receptors

Molecules or structures in cells that detect signals from primary receptors and help propagate the signal inside the cell, often involved in signal amplification.

Tonic Receptors

Sensory receptors that respond to stimuli over a prolonged period, maintaining the perception of a sensation.
