Cutaneous<span> receptor. The </span>cutaneous receptors<span> are the types of sensory receptor found in the dermis or epidermis. They are a part of the somatosensory system.</span>Cutaneous receptors<span> include </span>cutaneous<span> mechanoreceptors, nociceptors (pain) and thermoreceptors (temperature).</span>
<span>Diffusion and osmosis are important to cells because they don't require energy to transport very important molecules such as water and steroids.</span>
Diffusion is one form of passive transport that doesn't require the expenditure of cellular energy. A molecule can diffuse passively through the cell membrane if it's lipid-soluble, uncharged, and very small, or if a carrier molecule can assist it. ... The assisted process is known as facilitated diffusion.
Got this off google but still hope it helps :)
