List the four types of general sensory receptors, and iden- tify the nature of the stimulus that excites each type.

The list below classifies sensory receptors by the stimulus that activates them. Using your textbook or other resource, name the receptor for each stimulus type. activated by touch, pressure, vibration, and stretch. activated by changes in temperature activated by light or changes in light wavelengths activated by changes in chemical concentrations in a solution activated by tissue injury or situations that may lead to tissue injury

Although all sensory receptors are specific for one type of stimulus, they all produce the same output signal.  What is this signal?

Describe the difference between the two different specialized afferent endings that send signals to a sensory neuron.
