What selectively detect potentially damaging the stimuli that result in pain?
nociceptor
Do nociceptors respond to potentially damaging stimuli that result in pain?
True
Neurons in the skin that are responsible for detecting pain are?
Nociceptors are the neurons in the skin that are responsible for detecting pain. They are specialized sensory receptors that respond to potentially damaging stimuli by sending signals to the brain, alerting the body to the presence of tissue-damaging stimuli like heat, pressure, or chemicals.
What is nocicepors?
is a sensory receptor that reacts to potentially damaging stimuli by sending nerve signals to the spinal cord and brain. This process, called nociception, usually causes the perception of pain.
A characterstic that can be measured or detected by the senses is called a?
im thinking stimuli
What is the withdraw reflex?
a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
The sensory receptors specialized to respond to light energy are?
Sensory receptors are a type of sensory nerve. The sensory receptors that are specialized to respond to light energy are called stimuli.
What is the nature of the stimuli detected by the gustatory and olfactory?
The gustatory detects taste, and the olfactory detects smell.
What are the 4 types of stimuli detected by certain cutaneous receptors?
Touch, Pressure, Temperature and Pain
Four types of stimuli that can be detected by certain of the cutaneous receptor are?
Pain, pressure, touch and temperature change
What is perceptual defense?
perceptual defence: A term used to refer to the fact that the perception of some stimuli requires a longer exposure than perception of other stimuli. In other words, the thresholds for recognition of certain stimuli are higher than the thresholds of recognition for other stimuli. perceptual defence: Refers to motivational factors that inhibit perception of potentially threatening stimuli. Research in the 1950s gathered evidence for the effects of motivation on perception of subliminal stimuli
Information entering the central nervous system from the external environment is called what?
Information entering the central nervous system from the external environment is called external stimuli. External stimuli are factors which are detected by the body and communicated to the central nervous system such as temperature and scents.
