Remote receptors

Japanese: 遠隔受容器 - えんかくじゅようき

…Physiologically, it is called an exteroceptive reflex. Receptors for physical and chemical stimuli that come into contact with the body (touch, pressure, warm, cold, and pain receptors in the skin and mucous membranes, and taste receptors in the taste buds) are called touch receptors, while receptors for stimuli from distant objects (photoreceptors in the retina, sound receptors in the inner ear, and olfactory receptors in the olfactory epithelium) are called distance receptors. Together, these two are called exteroceptors. A reflex induced by an appropriate stimulus to the exteroceptors is called an exteroceptive reflex. …

From [Sensation]

…Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) also divided receptors into exteroceptors (those that respond to stimuli from outside the body) and interoceptors (those that respond to stimuli from inside the body) based on the relationship between receptors and stimuli (1926). The former were further divided into teleceptors (those that respond to stimuli from far away from the body, such as visual, auditory, and olfactory receptors) and tangoceptors (those that respond to taste and skin and mucous membrane receptors), and the latter into proprioceptors (receptors for the position of the body such as muscles, tendons, joints, labyrinths, and limb movement) and visceroceptors (receptors in the internal organs). Based on these differences in receptors, the senses are classified into modalities. …

Japanese:

…生理学的には外受容反射という。生体に接触する物理的，化学的な刺激の受容器(皮膚，粘膜にある触･圧･温･冷･痛覚の受容器および味蕾（みらい）にある味の受容器)を接触受容器，遠隔の物体からの刺激の受容器(網膜の光受容器，内耳にある音受容器および嗅（きゆう）上皮にある嗅受容器)を遠隔受容器といい，この両者を合わせて外受容器という。外受容器に対する適当な刺激によって誘発される反射を外受容性反射という。…

…またシェリントンCharles Scott Sherrington(1857‐1952)は，受容器と刺激の関係から受容器を外部受容器exteroceptor(体外からの刺激に反応する受容器)と内部受容器interoceptor(身体内部からの刺激に反応する)とに分けた(1926)。前者は，さらに遠隔受容器teleceptor(身体より遠く離れたところから発せられる刺激に反応するもの，視覚，聴覚，嗅覚の受容器)と接触受容器tangoceptor(味覚や皮膚粘膜にある受容器)に，後者は固有受容器proprioceptor(筋肉，腱関節，迷路などの身体の位置や，四肢の運動の受容器)と内臓受容器visceroceptor(内臓にある受容器)に分けた。このような受容器の相違に基づき感覚は種modalityに類別される。…
