What are two stimuli skin detects?
Skin can detect temperature changes, allowing us to feel hot or cold sensations. It also detects physical stimuli such as pressure, touch, and pain.
Why is the ability to sense heat cold and pain reduced in older persons?
As people age, their nerve fibers can become less sensitive and slower to transmit signals, leading to a reduced ability to sense heat, cold, and pain. Additionally, age-related changes in skin thickness and circulation can affect the perception of temperature and pain. Overall, the combination of these factors can result in a decreased sensitivity to heat, cold, and pain in older individuals.
Why are some body parts of your skin more sensitive to heat than others?
Body parts that are more sensitive to heat typically have a higher concentration of sensory nerve endings, which respond to changes in temperature. Areas with thinner skin, like the face and hands, tend to be more sensitive to heat compared to areas with thicker skin, like the back. Additionally, regions with more blood flow, like the fingertips, can also feel hotter more quickly.
If touch a hot object you feel the heat due to?
When you touch a hot object, you feel the heat because heat energy is transferred from the object to your skin. This increase in temperature activates pain receptors in your skin, triggering a sensation of heat or pain. Your body then reacts by moving away from the hot object to avoid further damage.
What are sensory receptors of the skin?
They are specialized cells that respond to stimuli AND energize nerve cells that send data to your brain. As to what kinds there are: they include heat and cold (that's two seperate types) touch and pressure, piloreceptors (motion of the hairs on your skin).
What do nerve receptors in the skin detect?
The skin is sensitive to heat, cold, extreme temperature (hot or cold), pressure, pain/irritation and vibrations.
What special cell is in our skin that allows us to sense pressure heat cold and pain?
Sensory receptor cells
What special cell in your skin that allows us to sense pressure heat cold and pain?

What special cell in our skin that allows us to sense pressure heat cold and pain?
Sensory receptor cells
Special cell in the skin that allows us to sense pressure heat cold and pain?
These are sensory receptors located in the skin called free nerve endings. They respond to different stimuli such as pressure, temperature, and pain, and send signals to the brain. This allows us to perceive and react to various sensations in our environment.
What are the 5 sensory receptors?

Are bones sensitive?
Bones themselves do not have pain receptors, so they are not typically sensitive to pain. However, the tissues surrounding bones, such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons, can be sensitive and cause pain if injured or damaged.
What part of the skin picks up sensation?
There are several different touch sensors in the skin. We can distinguish between blunt and sharp, a pressure, or a light stroke with a wisp of cotton wool. We can distinguish vibrations. Your finger tips and lips are very sensitive, and your back is pretty insensitive.
Are nerves present skin?
The skin has nerves to detect changes in the external environment. The nerves of the skin can detect heat and cold, pressure, pain, and touch.
Can everybody feel pain so easily?
sometimes it depends if the skin is sensitive
