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 receptor is responsible for adjusting the light and brightness in your eye?
Photoreceptor
The cells in the retina of the eye that detect light are called what?
Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision
What is the chemical in the atmosphere that is responsible for absorbing ultraviolet light from the Sun?
Ozone is the chemical that absorbs UV light. It is present in the stratosphere.
Where are meissner's corpuscles?
In the skin.
What cutaneous receptors is specialized for the reception of the touch of light pressure?
Meissner's corpuscles
What sensory receptors are found in the epidermis and detect light pressure and vibration?
Meissner's corpuscles
Which of these doesn't belong A reticular layer B keratin C dermal papillae D Meissner's corpuscles?
Meissner's corpusclesbecauseThey are a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have highest sensitivitynot a layer.
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
Light consists of discrete packets of energy called?
Light consists of discrete packets of energy called quanta. A single quantum of light is better known as a photon.
The skin on what parts of your body has the most sensory receptors?
The skin, all 6-10 lb. and 20 square feet in an adult, is a washable, stretchable, tough, water-proof sensory apparatus covering your whole body. Most likely the Meissner's corpuscles (or tactile corpuscles) responsible for sensitivity to light touch and are found in very large numbers in the fingers, lips and nipples are the most common. They do become desensitized after some time. For example you don't feel the clothes you are wearing after awhile.

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.
