Mechanoreceptors detect touch and body movement, while hearing involves structures like the eardrum. Vision is characterized in arthropods through compound eyes. Smell uses olfactory chemoreceptors in the nasal cavity. Additionally, some fish have electric organs for sensing electrical fields, and magnetoreceptors help animals navigate by detecting the Earth's magnetic field.
