How many types of sensory receptors are found on the human head?
All 5.
What is the sensory receptors that can perceive color?
Cone cells in the retina of the eye detect color. There are three types of cone cells. Two of them detect light of different wavelengths, one medium and the other long. And the third detects the overall intensity of the light source. Your brain uses this information to interpret the combination of those three receptors to give you the sensation that you percieve different colors.
The human tongue has many receptors specialized for?
The tongue's receptors are taste buds. They are specialized to detect flavors, and are divided into two types, sweet and bitter receptors. They can detect perceptions of flavors in five types; salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umani (savory).
What are the two kinds of photoreceptor types in the retina?
The retina has two kinds of light sensitive cells, called photoreceptors, the rod and the cone cells. Rod cells are sensitive to absolute light levels (not color vision) while cone cells are used for color vision.
Which of the cutaneous receptor types is most numerous and why?
Pain receptors.
How many different types of cone receptors are there?
There are five elements of taste buds: salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami.
What are the receptors in the eye?
You have rod cells and cone cells as receptors in your eye. Rods are for intensity of the light. Cone cells are for color vision.
What are the two types of receptors in the skin that detect fine touch?
There are not tow types of sensory receptors in the skin there are many types of sensory receptors in the skin i.e., in the CUTANEOUS RECEPTORS of the MECHANORECEPTORS. They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs.

What is an animal cone cell?
Cones are light receptors in the eyes that allow us to see different colors.
What are your serotonin receptors?
5-HT receptors are the receptors for serotonin. They are located on the cell membrane of nerve cells and other cell types in animals.
How many names of volcanoes are there?
If you mean types, There are 4 Stratovolcano Cinder cone Shield Dome
What are the types of cone volcano?
mountshasta
How are we able to see intermediate colors such as purple?
The colour receptors in your eye are not monochromatic narrow filters. Each of the three types of cone receptor have some overlap with each other. Rather as three 'bell' curves. Thus a band of light may well excite a response in each of the three types of cone. A human eye may discriminate up to about 10 000 000 colours.
