To determine:
Match the receptor types in column B with the correct description given in column A.
Column A |
Column B |
(1) Pain, itch, and temperature receptors (2) Contains intrafusalfibers and anulospiral and flower spray ending (3)Discriminative touch receptor in hairless (fingertips) (4) Contains receptor endings wrapped round thick collagen bundles (5) Rapidly adapting deep pressure receptor (6) Slowly adapting deep pressure receptor |
(a) bulbous corpuscles (b) Tendon organ (c) muscle spindle (d) free nerve ending (e) lamellar corpuscle (f) tactile corpuscle |
To match: The receptor types in column B with the appropriate description given in column A.

- Figure 36.5 Which of the following statements about mechanoreceptors is false? Pacini corpuscles are found in both glabrous and hairy skin. Merkel’s disks are abundant on the fingertips and lips. Ruffini endings are encapsulated mechanoreceptors. Meissner’s corpuscles extend into the lower dermis.arrow_forwardrelays visual infomation from retina to V1 detects increases in temperature mediates inflammatory pain and itch control of distal muscles a. lateral geniculate nucleus b. transient receptor potential (TRPV) channels c. histamine d. corticospinal and rubrospinal tractsarrow_forwardName any four encapsulated nerve endings and identify the stimulus modalities for which they are specialized?arrow_forward
- Based upon stimulus origin, would a cutaneous pain receptor beclassified as an exteroceptor, an interoceptor, or a proprioceptor?Based upon receptor distribution, would this same cutaneousreceptor be classified as a general somatic, general visceral, orspecial sense? Finally, how would this pain receptor in the skinbe classified based upon modality of stimulus?arrow_forwardDo gustatory taste cells have BOTH chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors? The chemoreceptors are responsible for receiving the signals that the saliva molecules send via action potentials, but there are also hair cells attached to the taste cells that detect movement?arrow_forwardReceptor cells that are neurons with sensory dendrites are faster than receptor cells that are separate from neurons. Why is that, and why might that be important in, for example, the sense of touch versus vision?arrow_forward
- when a stimulus is applied for a prolonged period the rate of receptor discharge slowsarrow_forwardWhich of the following components listed is not a part of the spiral organ? (a) the tectorial membrane, (b) the inner hair cells, (c) the outer hair cells, (d) the spiral ganglion.arrow_forwardA patient has had a stroke that damaged the trigeminal nerve but not the facial, glossopharyngeal, or vagus nerve. Would this individual still be able to taste the differenceWould this individual still be able to taste the difference between hot peppers and French fries? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
