The three parts of a homeostatic regulatory mechanism are the receptor (detects changes in the internal or external environment), the control center (receives information from the receptor and initiates a response), and the effector (carries out the response to restore balance or stability).
Ligands bind to receptor molecules on the host cell membrane. These ligands can be hormones, neurotransmitters, or other signaling molecules that trigger a cellular response when they bind to their specific receptors.
Receptor molecules end up inside endosomes following receptor-mediated endocytosis. They can then be either recycled back to the cell surface or delivered to lysosomes for degradation.
The primary opioid receptor associated with analgesia is the mu-opioid receptor. Activation of the mu-opioid receptor by opioids such as morphine produces pain relief by modulating pain perception pathways in the brain and spinal cord. This receptor is also responsible for the euphoric effects of opioids, which can lead to their misuse and addiction.

Cone cells are the receptor cells in the retina that are associated with seeing colors. There are three types of cone cells that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive a wide range of colors.
