∙ 12y agoThe different names for the two light receptors and Rods and Cones.
Rods - only allow you to see in black and white and are very light sensitive.
Cones - allow you to see in colour.

What are the names of the hearing receptors within the inner ear?
Hearing and balance receptors are found in the ear.
How do the sensory receptors in your fingers differentiate between different objects?
You have several sensory receptors and they all measure differences in pressure, displacement, and movement. The main ones are the Merkle, Meissner, Pacinian, Raffini, Krause, Hair follicle receptors, and the pain receptors.
What happens when you stimulate an axon in the middle?
Axons have no receptors for stimuli, only the dendrites off of the soma are capable of having receptors for different stimuli
Which layer of the skin is compose of thousands of sensory receptors?
The layer of the skin that contains sensory receptors is the epidermis. There have been reports of the dermis also containing sensory receptors.
Can You List 3 Stimuli And The Receptors Used To Detect Them?
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors
What are the names of the sensory receptors in the skin?
nerve endings
Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?
It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors
What are the names of the hearing receptors within the inner ear?
Hearing and balance receptors are found in the ear.
What are three types of receptors?
There are four different types of receptors in the skin. There are merkel receptors, meissner corpuscles, ruffini cylinders and pacinian corpuscles.
What is adaptaion of sensory receptors?
Adaptation of sensory receptors refers to the way in which our senses changed under different circumstances and stimuli.
Why do humans see different colors?
You have receptors for three primary colours in your retina. You can perceive the thousands of colours due to stimulation of the these receptors at different intensity in various permutations and combinations.
Which component of the eye contains visual receptors?
The eye's visual receptors reside within the retina. The eye's visual receptors consist of four different types of receptors including rods, blue cones, red cones and green cones.

Axons have no receptors for stimuli, only the dendrites off of the soma are capable of having receptors for different stimuli
Do auditory receptors detect light?
No, auditory receptors do not detect light. Auditory receptors are sensory cells that respond to sound waves, which are pressure waves with frequencies between 16 hertz and 20,000 hertz. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from about 400 terahertz to 790 terahertz. Auditory receptors are located in the inner ear, in the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti, while light receptors are located in the retina of the eye. Therefore, auditory receptors and light receptors are different types of sensory cells that detect different types of stimuli.
What is the connection between the receptors and the CNS?
nothing they are totally different things
Why are histamine antagonists recommended for heart burn?
Histamine receptors in the stomach control acid production, and blocking them reduces acidity. The H2 receptors in the stomach are treated with different agents than the H1 receptors in the brain, there is little overlap.
