Sensing temperature through skin. The primary sense organ is skin which contains specialized nerve cells called thermoreceptors. Thermoreceptors don't directly sense temperature; they detect changes in heat flow between the body and its environment. This means they don't give an absolute temperature reading but rather a perception of whether heat is being gained or lost. #temperature #temperaturemeasurement #temperaturesensor #thermoregulation #thermometer #heat #science #scienceactivity #experiment
