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
Which are the touch receptors sensitive to heavy pressure?
Merkel cells or Merkel-Ranvier cells = light touch Meissner's or tactile corpuscles = light touch Vater-Pacini corpuscules = vibratory pressure and touch, deep pressure
What term doesnt belong meissner's corpuscles pacinian corpuscles merkel cells arrector pili?
Whilst all of these things are within the dermis of the skin, the arrector pili is the odd thing out. The arrector pili is a muscle where as the rest (meissner, pacinian and merkel) are nerve endings. The result of contraction of arrector pili is the standing up of a hair. The meissner corpuscle is a sensory nerve ending that is specific for fine touch, as are merkel cells [light touch]. The pacinian corpuscle is a nerve ending specific for sensation of deep pressure and vibration.
What is the name of the cutaneous receptor that detects deep pressure?
The Pacinian corpuscle responds to "mechanical" pressure i.e. touch.
What is the function of Touch?
touch receptors form neuronal fiber nets around the base of hairs and deep pressure receptors consist of nerve endings encapsulated by specialized connective tissues.
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
What are all the sensory receptors and the stimulus that belong to each sensory?
There are a number of sensory receptors and these perceive: 1. light (eye) 2. sound (ear) 3. balance (eye + ear +joints) 4. pain (many locations, some surface and some deep) 5. touch (usually light) 6. pressure (usually deep) 7. taste (tongue and mouth) 8. smell (nose and throat) 9. proprioception (usually joints and muscles)
What part of the skin sends the message to the brain?
There are receptors in the dermal part of the skin that sends various types of information to the brain; hot, cold, light touch, pressure (deep touch) and pain.
How do they know if water polo players touch bottom?
They usually make the pool too deep for the players to touch, and if they are able to touch it; it is deep enough for the refs to notice
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.

What is sensory deprivation therapy?
Sensory deprivation, or Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST), is a technique by which sensory input (sound, light, smell, etc.) is minimized. This practice encourages an extremely deep level of relaxation.
How deep are the pools used for water polo?
deep enough for no one to be able to touch the bottom
Is 4 feet deep?
no if you are smaller than four feet then its deep for you if you are over four feet its not that deep so then you can touch the ground.

Is kid cudi losing his touch?
Nahh. MOTMII is deep.
Why do you sniff when you wish to smell something better?
To understand this, you need to fist understand the basic mechanism of how the sensory pathway in the nose works. When you breathe, air enters your nostrils, reach the roof of the nose where there is a part of bone (that forms the floor of the brain) that has minute holes in it, called the cribiriform plate. It is through this part of the skull that sensory nerves associated with smell communicate with the outside. When you sniff, which is nothing but take a deep breath, more air reaches the roof of the nose, and more signals are transmitted to the part of the brain that helps in recognizing smell.
