receptive fields

It shows relative nerve density within the parameters of the central nervous system's lateral suppression. Lack of two-point sensitivity most likely reflects damage to the central nervous system, especially so when the one-point threshold is not affected.

What is absolute threshold?

Absolute threshold is the smallest level of energy required by an external stimulus to be detectable by the human senses, including vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch


What is the Rapid Threshold Procedure in monofilament testing?

When using monofilaments to determine nerve health, the Rapid Threshold Procedure is a method promoted by Connecticut Bioinstruments to quickly find a threshold. It relies on the proper calibration of the monofilaments, including the inability to confound pain and touch sensations.


What will the The two-point threshold do as the concentration of touch receptors Meissner's corpuscles increases and the skin area becomes more sensitive?

As the concentration of touch receptors Meissner's corpuscles increases and the skin area becomes more sensitive, the two-point threshold will decrease. This means that the ability to distinguish two separate points of contact will improve, making the skin more sensitive to tactile stimuli.

What political party was tagged with being out of touch with the middle class in the 2008 presidential elections?

The Republican party. It is always out of touch with the middle class. The party only serves and benefits the upper class.


What is the longest outer organ?

The skin is the body's longest outer organ. It serves as a protective barrier, regulates temperature, and allows for the sensation of touch.


Can you touch a ball python too much?

Yes. Excessive handling can cause a snake to stress out, which can cause food to be regurgitated and a lower immune system threshold. One to two times a week of handling is alright.


Where on the body would you expect the error of localization and the two-point discrimination threshold to be lowest?

The error of localization and two-point discrimination threshold are expected to be lowest on body parts with a high density of sensory receptors, such as the fingertips and lips. These areas have a high resolution of touch sensation due to the close spacing of tactile receptors, allowing for more accurate localization and discrimination of sensory stimuli.


What is the value of receptor in the body having threshold?

The value of receptors in the body having thresholds is that without them we would constantly be overstimulated. If we didn't have thresholds, everything, sound, taste, touch and noise would be unbearable, as we would have to respond to everything. Thresholds allow us to ignore unimportant stimuli, and to not become overwhelmed by reacting to every stimulus around us.
