For normal functioning, humans and animals must continuously receive information about changes in their surrounding environment and their own internal environment and respond promptly to it. In this regard, in the process of evolution in the body of animals and humans, special systems have arisen, for which the name sensory systems is most often used nowadays. Accordingly, the sensory systems of animals and humans were divided into two groups: extrasensory systems and sensory systems of the internal environment – visceral sensory systems.Based on modern scientific data, this book presents materials on the functioning of sensory systems at the cellular and molecular levels that regulate the work of internal organs – visceral sensory systems. Detailed information on the morphofunctional characteristics of peripheral and central sensory receptors of visceral sensory systems is presented. Data on the pathways of sensory information from receptors and its processing in the central nervous system are presented.

Alekseev Nikolai Petrovich graduated from high school in 1961 before entering Leningrad (St. Petersburg) State University, USSR (Russia). He completed his dissertation in 1969 on the subject of cellular mechanisms of a single mechanoreceptor – the muscle spindle. His scientific research has been devoted to the study of cellular mechanisms for the functioning of various types of mechanoreceptors. He has investigated the mechanisms of generating the electrical activity of Pacini bodies. Based on the data obtained on Pacini corpuscles and muscle spindles, he co-wrote the book "Mechanoreceptors: Their functional organization" (1988). Together with Prof. Grachev I.I. he conducted a study of mammary gland sensory receptors. In 1989, he was awarded the Russian State Prize in Science and Technology for his scientific achievements. In 1991, he received the title of professor at St. Petersburg State University. He is the author of 5 books and 110 articles on the role of sensory systems in the functioning of humans and animals.
