Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition of tonic receptors with related examples.

Introduction: Receptors are the chemical structures that respond to a specific stimulus and transport the signal. The receptors provide information about the mechanical change that occurs in the environment, for example, pressure, heat, and movement.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition of phasic receptors with related examples.

Introduction: Receptors are the membrane-spanning chemical structures that sense the mechanical change in the environment by responding to a particular stimulus. The stimuli can be pressure, heat, temperature, or movement.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The type of receptor which has the ability to adapt.

Introduction: Receptors have a tendency to adapt where they cease to respond to the stimulus if it has been present consistently. The receptors get adapted to the same stimulus and do not respond to it after a certain period of time.
