Teleceptor

…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. …

…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。…
