فتورسپتور (Fetoreceptor) is a type of sensory receptor that detects specific chemical signals, often related to odors or pheromones. These receptors play a crucial role in the sense of smell, allowing organisms to identify and respond to various environmental cues. They are found in many animals, including humans, and are essential for communication, mating, and finding food. In humans, فتورسپتور are located in the nasal cavity and are part of the olfactory system. When odor molecules bind to these receptors, they send signals to the brain, which interprets them as distinct smells. This process is vital for survival, influencing behaviors such as eating and social interactions.
