What else can I help you with?
Which structure has a greater concentration of sensory receptors your fingertips of the palms of your hands?
The fingertips have a greater concentration of sensory receptors compared to the palms of the hands. This is why our fingertips are more sensitive to touch and able to detect fine details such as texture and temperature with precision.
What are the sensory receptors for smell referred to as?
The sensory receptors for smell are referred to as olfactory receptors.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
How many types of sensory receptors are found on the human head?
There are five main types of sensory receptors found on the human head: mechanoreceptors for touch and pressure, thermoreceptors for temperature, nociceptors for pain, chemoreceptors for taste and olfaction, and photoreceptors in the eyes for light.
Which layer of the skin is compose of thousands of sensory receptors?
The dermis layer of the skin is composed of thousands of sensory receptors, including touch receptors, temperature receptors, and pain receptors. These receptors help you to feel sensations and respond to your environment.
What do sensory receptors enable you to do?
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
Are eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Which area of the body has the most sensory structures?
The fingertips have the highest density of sensory structures, such as touch receptors and nerve endings. This high concentration of sensory structures allows for precise discrimination of touch and texture.
What is a decreased sensitivity that occurs when a stimulus is continuously applied to sensory receptors called?
It all depends on the sensory receptors affected by continuous stimulus applied. It can cause complete damage to the receptors and or prevent them from receiving the correct signals.
What has the author Ragnar Granit written?
Ragnar Granit has written: 'Sensory mechanisms of the retina' 'Receptors and sensory perception' -- subject(s): Electrophysiology, Sensory Receptors
What are the sensory receptors for eyes and nose?
The sensory receptors for the eyes are the optic nerve and the retina. The sensory receptor for the nose are the olfactory nerves.
What is adaptaion of sensory receptors?
Adaptation of sensory receptors refers to the way in which our senses changed under different circumstances and stimuli.
