What are nerve cells that detect conditions of the body's environment?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
What are the different names of the receptors?
Taste - gustatory receptors (taste buds) Vision - optical receptors (retina and optic nerve) Hearing - phono receptors (cochlea - inner ear) Smell - olfactory receptors (nose) Touch - tactile receptors (skin, tongue) (Also : Heat - thermo receptors.)
What are the 3 types of unencapsulated tactile receptors?
free nerve endings merkel discs hair follicle rezeptors
What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
What are 3 types of receptors?
Sight-Eyes, Sound-Ears, Smell-Nose, Taste-Tongue, Touch-Skin

What is the skin sensory receptor for touch?
The sense organ of touching is skin.
What are the three classes of mechanoreceptors?
Tactile receptors, baroreceptors, and proprioceptors
Which are the touch receptors sensitive to heavy pressure?
Merkel cells or Merkel-Ranvier cells = light touch Meissner's or tactile corpuscles = light touch Vater-Pacini corpuscules = vibratory pressure and touch, deep pressure
What are the different names of the receptors?
Taste - gustatory receptors (taste buds) Vision - optical receptors (retina and optic nerve) Hearing - phono receptors (cochlea - inner ear) Smell - olfactory receptors (nose) Touch - tactile receptors (skin, tongue) (Also : Heat - thermo receptors.)
What does tactile corpuscle mean?
A tactile corpuscle is a type of sensory receptor found in the skin that responds to mechanical pressure and touch. They are sensitive to light touch and vibration, and help the brain to perceive sensations of texture and pressure on the skin.
Which receptors are modified free-nerve endings found in the deeper levels of epidermis?
tactile (Merkel) discs
Which receptors are modified free-nerve endings found in the deeper levels of the epidermis?
tactile (Merkel) discs
What is the Scientific term for touch?
The scientific names for the 5 senses are: 1. Sight- Vision (Visual) 2. Hearing- Audition (Auditory) 3. Taste- Gustation (Gustatory) 4. Smell- Olfaction (Olfactory) 5. Touch- Tactition (Tactile)

Cells that detect conditions in the body environment are?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
What is the importance of hairs in the body?
Human hairs have touch receptors that wrap around their roots, so they help in tactile sensory reception.
