Receptor Secondary Sensory

Secondary sensitive receptors (HF receptors) are receptors that are found in the cells and tissues of the body and respond to various chemicals such as hormones, neurotransmitters and other biologically active substances. These receptors play an important role in the regulation of many physiological processes such as growth, development, metabolism, immune system, etc.

RF receptors can be classified into several types depending on their structure and function. For example, hormone sensitivity receptors (HCRs) respond to hormones that are secreted by endocrine glands such as the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, etc. Neurotransmitter receptors (NTRs) respond to neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine, etc., which are released by nerve endings.

Some of the more well-known HF receptor sites include:

  1. Hormonal sensitivity receptor alpha adrenergic receptors (α1, α2 and α3) - respond to adrenaline, norepinephrine, norepinephrine and other catecholamines.
  2. Muscarinic neurotransmitter receptor M1 and M2 - respond to acetylcholine.
  3. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) receptor - responds to indoleacetic acid, which is the main component of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
  4. Glucagon receptor - responds to the hormone glucagon, which is produced by the pancreas and regulates blood glucose levels.
  5. Gastrin receptor - responds to gastrin, which is secreted by stomach cells and stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid.


Dear colleagues and friends! Today we will talk about the secondary-sensing receptor or non-free receptor. In everyday life, we often come across the concept of receptors, which are responsible for the perception of our sensations. But there are other receptors that are responsible for performing more complex tasks. That's what we'll talk about today.

Receptors are special cells that are located on the surface of the body and are able to perceive various environmental signals. They are divided into two main types: free and secondary sensitive. Free receptors respond to external stimuli such as light, sound or chemicals and transmit a signal to the nervous system to cause a response in the body. Secondary sensory receptors also perceive signals from the external environment, but they respond to changes in the internal environment of the body, such as temperature, pressure or acidity.

One of the most important secondary sensory receptors is the non-free type receptor. It is a protein that is capable of binding and changing its structure depending on changes in the internal environment of the body. At the same time, it transmits a signal to the brain, which processes the information received and makes a decision about the body’s reaction to this signal. For example, when body temperature changes, a non-free type receptor in the skin transmits a signal to the thermoregulation center, which in turn sends a command to increase or decrease heat production.

In general, non-free type receptors play an important role in the functioning of the body and its adaptation to environmental changes and internal physical conditions. This allows the body to adequately respond to environmental influences. If the receptor does not work correctly, this can lead to various diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the health of your body, including the proper functioning of all its parts.
