Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
Which receptor in sensitive to changes in pressure?
Baroreceptors are sensitive to changes in blood pressure. The carotid sinus in the neck is one place where blood pressure is monitored and can be changed.
Receptor found only in the eye?
photosensitive receptor.cones and rods.cones work in bright light and are sensitive to colours whereas rods work in dim light and are not sensitive to colours
What is an autoreceptor?
An autoreceptor is a receptor which is situated in the terminal of a presynaptic nerve cell, sensitive to neurotransmitters released by the neuron in whose membrane the autoreceptor sits.
What type of inheritance pattern best describes how skin color is determined?
The melanocortin 1 receptor is primarily responsible for skin color.
What is the major function of rods in the eye?
The major function of Rods in the eye is that of Photo (light) reception. They are more sensitive to light thn are the cones, but are not color sensitive,The rods are photo receptor cells found in the retina. Their main function is to help the eye see in dim light.
What is the most light sensitive receptor cells?
Rods
What type of stimuli is each receptor very sensitive to?
specific
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
If photo sensitive is for light what is the term for heat sensitive?
thermal.
How does an organism actually look?
It uses its photo-receptor organ(s).
Which type of receptor in the eye is sensitive only to light and dark?
i think its the retina
Which is more sensitive over skin temperature or touch and why?
Touch ... the number of receptor cells.
Receptor cell that allows you to see color?
yes but photo-receptors are also further divided into two parts, i.e. rods and cones. Rods respond to the intensity of light and cones respond to colors.
What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?
It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.
Which receptor in sensitive to changes in pressure?
Baroreceptors are sensitive to changes in blood pressure. The carotid sinus in the neck is one place where blood pressure is monitored and can be changed.
What is peripheral adaptation?
Nerve receptor is stimulated so much that will ultimately become less sensitive to the skin.
