Are antibodies and cell receptors similar?
Cell receptors and antibodies both have a specific shape requirement in order for them to work. I guess thats what makes them similar.
What is the connection between the receptors and the CNS?
nothing they are totally different things
How many different kinds of receptors are there for acetylcholine?
Two types, nicotinic and muscarinic
Is the skin on the different parts of the body different numbers of nerve receptors?
Yes, your lips actually have the greatest number of nerve (sensory) receptors followed by your hands. Conversely, areas such as your back are not nearly as sensitive to sensory stimulation.
How do alpha and beta receptors differ?
Affinity for different agonists, their locations throughout the body, the effects produced from their activation and supression. Presuming your talking about adrenergic receptorsAlpha adrenergic receptors & beta adrenergic receptors produce vasoconstriction and vasodilation respectively.

What are the different names of the receptors?
Taste - gustatory receptors (taste buds) Vision - optical receptors (retina and optic nerve) Hearing - phono receptors (cochlea - inner ear) Smell - olfactory receptors (nose) Touch - tactile receptors (skin, tongue) (Also : Heat - thermo receptors.)
Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?
It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors
What are three types of receptors?
There are four different types of receptors in the skin. There are merkel receptors, meissner corpuscles, ruffini cylinders and pacinian corpuscles.
What is adaptaion of sensory receptors?
Adaptation of sensory receptors refers to the way in which our senses changed under different circumstances and stimuli.
Why do humans see different colors?
You have receptors for three primary colours in your retina. You can perceive the thousands of colours due to stimulation of the these receptors at different intensity in various permutations and combinations.
Which component of the eye contains visual receptors?
The eye's visual receptors reside within the retina. The eye's visual receptors consist of four different types of receptors including rods, blue cones, red cones and green cones.
How do the sensory receptors in your fingers differentiate between different objects?
You have several sensory receptors and they all measure differences in pressure, displacement, and movement. The main ones are the Merkle, Meissner, Pacinian, Raffini, Krause, Hair follicle receptors, and the pain receptors.
What happens when you stimulate an axon in the middle?
Axons have no receptors for stimuli, only the dendrites off of the soma are capable of having receptors for different stimuli
Why is the shape of hormone receptors so important in the human body?
because i shows how ur hormones will effect the body
Do auditory receptors detect light?
No, auditory receptors do not detect light. Auditory receptors are sensory cells that respond to sound waves, which are pressure waves with frequencies between 16 hertz and 20,000 hertz. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from about 400 terahertz to 790 terahertz. Auditory receptors are located in the inner ear, in the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti, while light receptors are located in the retina of the eye. Therefore, auditory receptors and light receptors are different types of sensory cells that detect different types of stimuli.
