Grasp the principle of sensory adaptation and its behavioral implications, such as the ability to ignore constant stimuli while remaining sensitive to new information.

Explain the distinction between different types of sensory receptors (e.g., chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, photoreceptors) based on the type of stimulus they detect.
