What type of stimulis do mechanoreceptors detect?
A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor of a nerve that responds to pressure, vibration, or another mechanical stimulus. -JoshuaP
Mechanoreceptors might detect what?
Pressure....
The smallest intensity of a stimulus that you can detect 50 percent of the time is?
Absoulute threshold
What type of stimulus detected by touch receptor?
The criteria used to classify sensory receptors depends on the type of nerve signals associated with the sensory receptors. Olfactory receptors read chemical signals and associate them with a corresponding smell, tastebuds read chemical signals and associate them with a corresponding taste ect..
Is there more than one neuron to detect a stimulus?
Yes, and typically one set of neurons for each set of stimuli.
Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect?
Sound
What type of stimulis do mechanoreceptors detect?

What kind of stimulus can Krause's end bulbs detect?
They detect sensations of touch and low frequency vibration
What stimulus do Meissner's corpuscles detect?
They are pressure receptors so respond to their stimuli-pressure :) hope this helps
Mechanoreceptors might detect what?
Pressure....
What is the sensory receptor that detects changes in pressure or movement?
Mechanoreceptors
What is the function of the cold receptor?
to detect stimulus
What is stimulus with examples?
A stimulus is a DETECTECTABLE change in the environment. e.g. light is a stimulus to an animal or plant if it can detect the light with a sensing eye or chemical
How are stimulus and response related?
our senses will detect stimulus and send impulse into the integrating centre(brain) to interpret. the brain will produce appropriate response toward the stimulus to the effector. e.g when Telephone ring, the ears will detect the stimulus(sound) and the brain will produce the response to pick up the phone (copy from Yahoo answers)
What type of sensory receptor detects changed in pressure or movement?
Mechanoreceptors
Detect changes of internal or external stimulus?
sensory receptors
What is the Point at which a person can detect a stimulus 50 percent of time it is presented?
The point at which a person can detect a stimulus 50% of the time it is presented is known as the absolute threshold. This threshold represents the minimum intensity of a stimulus needed to detect it half of the time. It is often used in psychology to study perception and sensory processing.
