What are sensory receptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-Specialized receptors that
respond to changes in the environment
What are stimuli? - CORRECT ANSWER-The changes in the environment
Name the three ways to classify sensory receptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-1) By the
type of stimulus they detect
2) By the location in the body
3) By their structural complexity
What is a mechanoreceptor? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Stimulus Receptor
Sensory receptors that respond to mechanical force such as touch, pressure, vibration
and stretch.
What is a thermoreceptor? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Stimulus Receptor
Sensory receptors that respond to changes in temperature.
What is a photoreceptor? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Stimulus Receptor
Sensory receptors that respond to light
What is a Chemoreceptor? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Stimulus Receptor
Sensory receptors that respond to chemicals in solution, molecules smelled or tasted, or
changes in blood or interstital fluid chemisty
What is a nocireceptor? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Stimulus Receptor
, Sensory receptors that respond to potentially damaging stimuli that result in pain.
What are externoreceptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Location Receptor
Sensory receptors that are sensitive to stimuli arising outside the body.
What are interoreceptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Location Receptor
Sensory receptors that respond to stimuli within the body such as from the internal
viscera and blood vessels.
What are proprioceptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification: Location Receptor
Sensory receptors that are in the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments, and in
connective tissue covering bones, and muscles.
The receptors monitor how the muscles and tendons are stretched and where they are
in space.
What is a nonencapsulated (Free) Nerve Ending - CORRECT ANSWER-Classification:
Structure
Free nerve ending of sensory neurons. Particularly abundant in epithelia and connective
tissue. Most of them are nonmyelinated, small in diameter group C fibers and their distal
endings usually have small knoblike swellings.
What is a tactile (Merkel) disc? - CORRECT ANSWER-Located in the deepest layer of
tissue, these receptors function as light touch receptors.
What is a hair follicle receptor? - CORRECT ANSWER-Free nerve endings that wrap
around the hair follicles and are light touch receptors that detect bending hairs.
What is Cranial Nerve I? - CORRECT ANSWER-Olfactory
tiny sensory nerves (filaments) of smell that run from the nasal mucosa to the synapse
with the olfactory bulbs
Function: purely sensory, carry afferent impulses for sense of smell
