Summary
Thermosensation is the process by which
Organisms detect temperature changes
in their environment, enabling them to respond appropriately to
Thermal Stimuli
. This sensory function is mediated by
Specialized receptors
, primarily transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which are activated by
Specific temperature ranges
and play a crucial role in
Maintaining Homeostasis
and survival.
