Visceroceptors are sensory receptors located within the internal organs, primarily in the walls of the viscera such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system. They are responsible for detecting changes in the internal environment, such as pressure, stretch, and chemical composition. These receptors play a crucial role in regulating autonomic functions and maintaining homeostasis.
