Which body system contains sensory receptors for heat cold touch and pain?
The Nervous System
What is the main organ of the sensory system?
1. The main organ of the sensory system, in terms of human dependence on it, is vision. 2. The largest organ of the sensory system is the skin (touch, warm, cold, prickly, etc.)
What happens when you touch something too cold?
your brain sends a message
When you touch something cold what receptors would be activated?
cold receptors, it will probably cause you to shiver . hope this helped :)
How do livng things respond to stimuli?
There are two types of responses to stimuli. 1)Deep response which requires integration by the brain such as thinking. 2)Simple response which is done by reflex arc. The reflex Arc is consisted if receptor, sensory neuron, relay neuron, motor neuron and effector which is either muscle or gland. For example in humans. If your hand touches a hot object. Heat receptors in your hand will act as sensor, passing an impulse by generating action potential in the sensory neuron. The sensory neuron passes the impulse to along it till reaching the spinal cord passing the impulse to the relay neuron by a process called synapse. The relay neuron synapse with motor neuron to pass the impulse to it. The end of the motor neuron is connected to the bi-ceps muscle in the arm. As the impulse reaches the end of the motor neuron it passes impulse to the muscle ordering it to contract, thus the hand is removed away from stimulus. This process take a fraction of a second.
In sensory function sensation may be described as?
In sensory function, sensation may be described as somatic. The somatic sensory system incorporates the sensations of heat, cold, touch and pain.
Which body system contains sensory receptors for heat cold touch and pain?
The Nervous System
What most determines how hot or cold something feels when you touch it?
Heat flow determines how hot or cold something feels when you touch it.
What is the function of a sensory neurone?
The sensory nerves are nerves that let you feel things and it sends signals to your brain when you feel something touching you.Sensory neurons are responsible for carrying impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord.A sensory neuron carries an impulse from the receptor to the coordinator (CNS), thus to relay neuron ( SIMPLY CONNECTS THE TWO NEURONS) -also see SYNAPSE and motor neuron to effector organ etc. This can be summed up as (reflex arc) - passage taken RECEPTOR - SENSORY NEURON - RELAY NEURON - COORDINATOR - MOTOR NEURON - EFFECTOR ORGAN - RESPONSE.
Which factor most determines how hot or cold something feels when you touch?
Thermal conductivity most determines how hot or cold something feels when you touch it. The nerve endings in your skin determine what is hot and cold when you touch it.
How do you find out if something is cold by touching it?
Touch it.

What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?
motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop
What happens when you touch something too cold?

What are the sensory cues that a dancer in a chorus line uses?
Vision, Hearing, kinesthesis (movement), vestibular (equilibrium), touch (heat, cold, pressure, pain)
When you reach for something in the fridge why do your hands get cold?
To the touch your skin is warm. When you reach in something cold such as a fridge or freezer the temperature difference is what makes your hands feel cold.
