What kind of cell detects a stimulus?

Sensory cells detect external stimuli such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These cells are specialized in converting the energy from these stimuli into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.


What kind of stimulus can ruffini's end organ detect?

Ruffini's end organs are sensitive to sustained pressure and deformation of the skin. They help detect stretching or changes in joint position, and contribute to the sensation of skin stretch and continuous pressure.


Is a bio probe the same as a bio sensor?

While a bioprobe has some things in common with a biosensor, most biosensors are not bioprobes, and most bioprobes are not biosensors. A biosensor is a kind of sensor -- i.e., it is used to detect something -- that uses at least some biological tissue in its construction. Perhaps the most well-known biosensor is the miner's canary, a small bird in a cage used to detect carbon monoxide and other deadly gases. The thing sensed by a biosensor is not necessarily biological -- as in this case, carbon monoxide. A bioprobe is a kind of sensor used to detect some kind of biological thing. Perhaps the most well-known bioprobe is the blood pressure meter, used to measure blood pressure. The bioprobe itself -- in this case, the pressure cuff -- is not necessarily biological. A hybridization probe is used to detect a particular DNA sequence. Because the thing it is designed to detect (a particular DNA sequence) is biological, and the hybridization probe itself is made of something biological (the complementary DNA sequence), a hybridization probe is simultaneously a bioprobe and a biosensor.


What kind of receptors are the olfactory receptors?

Olfactory receptors are specialized sensory receptors responsible for detecting odor molecules in the air. They are located in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity and are involved in the sense of smell.


What kind of tropism is Mimosa pudica?

Mimosa pudica exhibits thigmonastic movement, a type of nastic movement in response to touch or physical stimulus. When stimulated, the plant's leaves close up or fold in a rapid response to protect itself.
