What type of sensory receptor detects changed in pressure or movement?
Mechanoreceptors
Which type of sensory receptor cell detects itch and pain?
the structure of the eye which controls the diameter of the pupil
What is a type of receptor that responds to changes in stretch of skeletal muscle and initiates a stretch reflex?
Muscle spindle receptors which are located in the belly's of muscles measure length of stretch and speed of change. They send this afferent neural information to the posterior horn of the spinal cord where and interneuron interprets the information and if the stretch is ballistic (if it changes length too rapidly) it will trigger an efferent motor unit, or many motor units, through the anterior horn of the spinal cord to contract the muscle.

Pain receptor
What type of strength development exercise are you performing if the length of your muscle does NOT change?
The type of exercises that does not lengthen the muscle is called isometrics. The strengthening of the muscles is from utilizing range of motion movements.
What is the word for muscular contraction involving muscle movement?
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
Growth factor hormones such as insulin bind to which type of receptor?
tyrosine kinase receptor!!
What type receptor is present in the cardiac wall and responds to stimulation by the vagus nerve?
Muscarinic Receptor
Walking is an example of which type of contraction?
Walking is an example of isotonic type of contraction. These are contractions which will force the length of the muscle to change and cause movement.
Which type of receptor is common in the heart?
