. 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 are the onion-shaped receptors that respond to deep pressure?
pacinian corpuscle
What is the function of receptors in human body?
The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.
What do baroreceptors respond to?
They detect the blood pressure of the internal environment and send the results to the CNS, where it will react in several different ways
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
Sensory receptors that respond to changes in blood pressure are called?
Baroreceptors
Which receptors on the skin respond exclusively to pressure?
Meissner's Corpuscle.meissner's corpusclemeissner's corpuscles

pacinian corpuscle
Do the baroreceptors respond to changes in barometric pressure?
Not typically. Barereceptors respond to touch and pressure. Atmospheric changes are too small to activate them.
Are receptor that can respond to changes in pressure?
Mechanoreceptors
What stimulus do Meissner's corpuscles detect?
They are pressure receptors so respond to their stimuli-pressure :) hope this helps
Which receptors respond to a scraped knee?
pain receptors
What do sensory receptors enable you to do?
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
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.
Why are taste and smell receptors classified as Chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.
What are the receptors that detect changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors respond to temperature change.
