Do thermoreceptors adapt to warm and cold slowly?
Thermo receptors can adapt to stimuli. The temperature change at first strongly stimulated the thermo receptors. With continued exposure, the warmth receptors quickly stop responding but not completely. Sensation is not as noticeable.
Why is it helpful that some sensory receptors quickly adapt but other receptors slowly adapt?
fast adapting sensory receptors (for example smell) adapt rapidly because a foul smell can not cause harm to your body the brain quickly gets used to it. However slow/no adapting receptors is for safety. If something did not hurt, you would continue to do it even though it causes harm to your body. If touching a hot stove didn't hurt, then we wouldn't ever stop. Our body does not adapt to this heat because it is giving us a warning sign to stop before we damage the skin.
What receptors do not undergo adaptation?
Tonic receptors have little to no adaptation while phasic receptors adapt fast!
Do warm receptors adapt quickly?
Yes. "We all have the ability to make quick temperature adaptations. For example, when you step in the shower it immediately feels either too hot or too cold. For a moment, it's very uncomfortable, but that quickly changes. The receptors in the skin adapt very quickly to that stimulus." -findarticles.com
