Seems like it's still a field of study; and they don't fully understand the receptors. The wikipedia articles on it (which probably aren't exactly the greatest source) seem to suggest that the receptors are sensitive to heat and temperature. It also becomes somewhat of a grey area to differentiate the two; because it may detect "temperatures" through some measurement of the heat flow. I can't really think of any other mechanism to measure temperature. | |
