Which are the sensory receptors responds to the distortion or bending of tissue?
The sensory receptors that respond to the distortion or bending of tissue are called nociceptors. Nociceptors send pain signals to the brain and spinal cord.
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
Can a first order sensory neuron sometimes be a sensory receptor?
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
Is a control mechanism that intensifies an earlier reaction A sensory receptor An effector Negative feedback Positive feedback?
sensory receptor
What are the sensory reseptors for taste?
A taste receptor

What are sensory receptors?
A sensory receptor is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism. The sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
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
Is the sensory receptor the first element in the sensory pathway?
Yes the sensory receptor is the first element.
What is the sensory receptor in the eyes What is the sensory receptor in the nose What is the sensory receptors in the tongue What is the sensory receptors in the skin?
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve
Can a first order sensory neuron sometimes be a sensory receptor?
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
Is a control mechanism that intensifies an earlier reaction A sensory receptor An effector Negative feedback Positive feedback?
sensory receptor
