Question
Chapter 10, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The four types of somatic receptors on the basis of the stimulus.
Introduction: Stimulus is the chemical message that alters the chemical composition of the body. The stimulus creates a signal molecule in the body which combines with its specific receptors to initiate a response.
