Pain receptors are bare dendrites that react to a certain type of stimulus. Some pain receptors become activated when extremes of heat or cold cause your skin temperature to rise or fall to dangerous levels.

What occurs when beta receptors are stimulated?
When beta receptors are stimulated, it decreases the heart rate to treat for low blood pressure.
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
The process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors is called?
projection
What part of the cell is stimulated by outside chemicals triggering the cell to carry out specific functions?
cell membrane receptors
What receptors are stimulated in the micturition reflex?
Micturation is what we commonally call urination. There are various stretch activated receptors within the bladder and in the adjoining sphincter that participate in the reflex. The bladder has to disallow backflow and coordinate the contraction of the bladder with the relaxation of the terminal sphincter. This is done through both voluntary control of the musculature as well via sympathetic and parasympathetic reflexes.
What occurs when beta receptors are stimulated?
When beta receptors are stimulated, it decreases the heart rate to treat for low blood pressure.
What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
Receptors stimulated by changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors
What receptors are stimulated during urination?
Nerve receptors are stimulated during urination. This stimulation occurs when the walls of the bladder contract and the urination reflex is automatically activated.
What happens when the receptors in the skin are stimulated?
skin infection
Which is the first structure stimulated in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptors.
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
The process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors is called?
projection
A sensation that seems to fade away when receptors are continuously stimulated?
Sensory Adaptation, which is an adjustment made by the sensory receptors upon continuous stimulation.
What receptors are stimulated by tissue damage?
Nociceptors are stimulated by tissue damage and are also called pain receptorsSourceIntroduction to the Human Bodyby Gerard Tortora and Bryan Derrickson
What is the difference between feel and sense?
There are many sense organs in the body like touch receptors, pressure receptors, heart receptors, taste receptors, sound receptors, etc. All these receptors when stimulated result in changes in tone or isometric contraction of skeletal muscles around them or in the entire body.Sensation:Sensation is the observation of change in tone of skeletal muscles induced by a single sense organ.Thus, heat, sound, etc are sensations.Feeling:Feeling is the observation of changes in tone of skeletal muscles induced by many sense organs or continuous changes in a single sense organ.Thus, coffee induces a feeling and so does a song.
What is stimulated by sound waves?
matter
