Four types of stimuli that can be detected by certain of the cutaneous receptor are?
Pain, pressure, touch and temperature change
Specialized structures that respond to environmental stimuli?
the arrector pili
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.
Sensory receptors in skin?
Your main sensors in the skin are those for some types of pain or touch. We can distinguish a sharp from a blunt touch, and a brushing with a wisp of cotton wool will elicit a different sensation again. Vibration is a separate touch sensation again, as is also the detection of heat and cold. Perhaps you could consider smell (olfaction) to be a skin sense, but here the smell is first dissolved in the mucus before detection. [I had a side effect of a drug, which numbed the sense of vibration - it was only felt as a blunt touch. The operand was a tuning fork, which produces a small vibration at the stem. The proper sensations returned after >12 months off the drug.]
What are the four nerve endings in the skin?
There are four nerve endings in the skin namely: Pacinian nerve endings for pain Krause nerve endings for cold Ruffinis nerve endings for Heat and warm Endorphins-- natural pain killers SAM MKT :)
What is special organ that receives and processes stimuli from the environment?
receptors
What is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors called?
Sensation is Conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors
What happens when you stimulate an axon in the middle?
Axons have no receptors for stimuli, only the dendrites off of the soma are capable of having receptors for different stimuli
How do humans train bodies for a certain stimuli?
Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They detect a change in the environment stimulus. In the nervous system this leads to an electrical impulse being made in response to the stimulus. Sense organs contain groups of receptors that respond to specific stimuli.
What receives stimuli and forms impulses?
Receptors or more precisely, sensory 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.
Can You List 3 Stimuli And The Receptors Used To Detect Them?
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors
