What else can I help you with?
What layer of skin contains sensory receptors for touch?
The Dermis layer contains the sensory nerve fiber, so it is the Dermis layer that contains sensory receptors for touch.
What general category of sensory receptors detects variations in temperature?
themorecptrs
Your sense organs have specialised cells called?
sensory receptors - specialized nerve cells
What is punctuate distribution of cutaneous receptors?
Cutaneous Sensory Receptors are clustered in certain spots instead of being uniformly distributed. This clustering is called punctate distribution.
What are the 5 sensory receptors?
The 5 sensations are: - Skinny - Skin-like - Skinsensation - Sensaskin - Ya mum Fhuckfhuckfhuck
Receptors located deepest in the skin?
The receptors located deepest in the skin are the Pacinian corpuscles. These are sensory receptors responsible for detecting pressure and vibration stimuli. They are found in the deeper layers of the skin and are particularly sensitive to changes in pressure.
What are sensory receptors that can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentrations?
Chemoreceptors are sensory receptors that can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentrations. These receptors are particularly sensitive to changes in pH levels in the body, helping to regulate processes such as breathing and maintaining blood pH balance.
What are the sensory receptors used to monitor muscle tone?
Muscle spindles are sensory receptors that monitor muscle tone. They are located within the muscle belly and are sensitive to changes in muscle length and stretch, providing feedback to the central nervous system about the state of muscle contraction.
Where are sensory receptors that are sensitive to chemicals?
taste buds and nose
Which category sensory receptors are sensitive to touch sound and motion?
Mechanoreceptors are the sensory receptors that are sensitive to touch, sound, and motion. They respond to mechanical stimuli such as pressure, vibration, and acceleration. Mechanoreceptors are found throughout the body and help us perceive and respond to tactile sensations and changes in our environment.
Where sensory receptors are found that are sensitive to Chemicals?
taste buds and nose
What kind of sensory receptors are located everywhere in the body but the brain?
Pain Receptors
Where are heat and cold receptors located?
Heat receptors are located in the skin, while cold receptors are also located in the skin but in different sensory nerve fibers. Heat receptors respond to higher temperatures, while cold receptors respond to lower temperatures, helping our body detect and regulate temperature changes.
What is the simplest type of sensory receptor?
The simplest type of sensory receptor is the free nerve ending, which is a bare dendrite ending of a sensory neuron that is sensitive to various stimuli like temperature and pain. These receptors are found throughout the body and respond quickly to changes in the environment.
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
Sensory receptors detect changes in the environment known as stimuli. These receptors are specialized cells that send signals to the brain or spinal cord in response to specific types of stimuli such as light, sound, pressure, or chemical signals.
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
Detect changes of internal or external stimulus?
sensory receptors
