Answer:

The correct answer is thermoreceptor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the distinct kinds of receptors found in the body, thermoreceptors are the ones that specialize in determining the difference in temperature. It is a relative determination of heat found in the surroundings. These receptors possess the tendency to detect heat and cold and these are found all through the body.
