What is a Sensory receptor?
How can receptors be classified?
- Mechanoreceptors
- Chemoreceptors
- Thermoreceptors
- Photoreceptors
- Nociceptor
What does the specific sensitivity of a receptor imply?How does an adequate stimulus differ from an inappropriate one?Sensory Transduction.How is phototransduction in the retina accomplished?What is a Receptive field and what are some of its features?How do Glabrous and Hairy Skin differ from other Sensory receptors? Name the cutaneous mechanoreceptors!
- Merkel’s cells
- Meissner’s corpuscle
- Pacinian corpuscle
- Free nerve endings
- Hair follicle receptors
- Ruffini endings
What are some important features of the Merkel’s cells ? Name three Muscle and Joint receptors and some of their features!
- Free nerve endings
- muscle spindles
- Golgi tendon organs
