What are the receptors that detect heat and cold called?
thermoreceptors The skin is sensitive to heat, cold, extreme temperature (hot or cold), pressure, pain/irritation and vibrations.
Can a human pedigree be used to detect a recessive trait?
Yes, a human pedigree can be used to detect a recessive trait.
What is the use of Durham tube?
It is used to detect the production of Gas by Microorganisms.
What element is used to detect bone disease?
phosphoros
What clinistix and albustix are used for?
Clinistix and Albustix both are used to test the properties of our urine. They are also very useful and important for Diabetes testing. Clinistix is used to detect the glucose in the urine and Albustix is used to detect protein in the urine Sarah Waqar 7th orange APS WESTRIDGE III Rawalpindi
Do rods detect color in eye receptors?
Rods are used to detect variances in light and are perceived as black, grey and white. Cones are used to pick up colors.
What is the process in which our sensory receptors convert sensory stimuli from our environment into a form that can be sent to and used by the brain?
stem from generation of receptor potentials
What cells are used to help animals respond to their environment?
These are called receptors. They can be of many different types, depending on what they perceive. Photoreceptors: Pick up light - like your eyes Chemoreceptors: Detect chemicals - like your nose and tongue Haptic receptors: Detect touch - like your skin
Muscles or glands that bring about a coordinated response?
Effectors is the term used for glands or muscles that result in a coordinated response. Receptors are what receive stimuli from the outside environment.
Can any other device except for eyes detect light?
There are artificial detectors (photo receptors) that can sense light. They're commonly used in security applications.
Eight major types of sensory receptors in human body?
A specialized nerve cell that is designed to respond to a specific sensory stimulus. Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical compression or stretching of the receptor or of tissues adjacent to the receptor. Thermoreceptors detect changes in temperature. Nociceptors detect damage in tissues. E electromagnetic receptor detect light on the cornea of the eye. Chemoreceptors detect taste in the mouth, smell in the nose, oxygen level in the arterial blood, osmolality of the body fluids, and carbon dioxide concentration.
What are the receptors that detect heat and cold called?
thermoreceptors The skin is sensitive to heat, cold, extreme temperature (hot or cold), pressure, pain/irritation and vibrations.
Are pain receptors slow or fast adapting receptors?
Pain receptors, also known as nociceptors, are primarily slow-adapting receptors. This means that they continue to send signals for an extended period of time in response to a painful stimulus. They are designed to detect potential threat or damage to the body and provide a persistent awareness of pain.
What is the Common function of Arthropod antennae?
Antennae on arthropods perform sensory functions. In insects they detect moisture, temperature, and have olfactory functions; in crustaceans there are chemical receptors which function similar to our taste and smell for molecules drifting in seawater. There are also sensory receptors in many arthropod antennae which detect the amount of force from muscle action and the degree of bending and thus provide the touch sense. Some butterflies have a solar compass in their antennae, used for navigation.

What is stemuli?
In terms of Science, stimuli is something that is used to incites or quickens a specific action. Stimuli is often used to describe a specific function or activity of an organism.
