. Why is it important to have sensory receptors for pain and pressure in your internal organs?
Your internal organs have several kinds of sensory receptors. These receptors respond to touch, pressure, pain, and temperature by picking up the changes and transmitting impulses to the brain or spinal cord.it is important so you know when something is going on in your body
What is the function of the sensory organ?
Meissner's corpuscles; pain and touch receptors, Pacinian corpuscles; pressure receptors, hair follicle receptors; light touch receptors, Rufini's corpuscles; respond to deep pressurethat recieve the stimulus
Does sensory neurons for touch also carries pain impulses?
yes touch receptors can also feel pain you have to touch or be hurt by something or someone for that impulse to relay back to the brain that, yes, that did hurt or, yes, I am in pain
Which body system contains sensory receptors for heat cold touch and pain?
The Nervous System
Which are the sensory receptors responds to the distortion or bending of tissue?
The sensory receptors that respond to the distortion or bending of tissue are called nociceptors. Nociceptors send pain signals to the brain and spinal cord.
Which receptors respond to a scraped knee?
pain receptors
Why do you have so many receptors in your fingers and lips?
This is because the information goes in your brain. It is really helpful for blind peole who cants see therefore feel.
What are the names of the sensory receptors found in the dermis?
Sensory receptors in the dermis include: free nerve endings, pacinian corpuscles, and hair follicle receptors The mechanoreceptors of the skin are the meissner's corpuscles (which respond to light touch), the pacinian corpuscles (deeper in the dermis and respond to pressure), and the merkel's disks (closely related to the merkel's cells located in the epidermis and respond to light touch). The nociceptors are pain receptors that recognize hot, cold, and pain.

What is non nociceptors?
Nociceptors are pain receptors that are especially abundant in the upper skin, joint capsules, the periosteum of bone and the walls of blood vessels. Very few pain receptors are located in visceral deep tissue. The three types of pain receptors are those sensitive to temperature extremes, those sensitive to mechanical damage, and those sensitive to chemicals.
What nerve endings in the skin respond to the lightest touch?
Tactile corpuscle are the nerve endings in the skin that respond to the lightest touch. They are most concentrated on the fingertips and lips.
The cutaneous senses consist of sensory receptors that provide information about?
Touch, temperature and pain.
Which does not belong cutaneous receptors free dendritic endings stretch pain and touch?
Stretch
What is the scientific name for touch receptors?
The touch receptors are grouped by type and include Mechanoreceptors (sensitive to pressure, vibration and slip), Thermoreceptors (sensitive to changes in temperature), and Nocioreceptors (responsible for pain).
Does sensory neurons for touch also carries pain impulses?
yes touch receptors can also feel pain you have to touch or be hurt by something or someone for that impulse to relay back to the brain that, yes, that did hurt or, yes, I am in pain
Hair follicle nerve endings respond to?
Hair follicle nerve endings respond to pain and touch.
