Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The tangy sea air, as well as motion of water under the feet, were felt by Joni when she first stepped onto the sailboat. After sometime, Joni no longer noticed any smell but was attentive of the rolling motion of water for hours.

The types of receptors that are involved in the detection of the smell of tangy sea air and motion.

The reason for the fading smell sensation and remaining the rolling sensation.

Introduction:

Sensory receptors are either dendrite of a sensory nerve cell or a specialized cell. Every sensory receptor is activated by a particular type of alterations in the environment. The sensory receptors are categorized in different classes on the basis of microscopic structure (free nerve ending or separate cells), type of stimulus detected (mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, or thermoreceptors), as well as origin of stimuli and location of receptors (exteroceptors, proprioceptors, and interoceptors).

Peripheral senses are also involved in proprioception and let us know where our body parts are in space. What are these sensors and how do they work?
The fluid that fills the cochlear duct, where the organ of Corti is located, is called____________. which of the following is a proprioceotor?  Meissner's corpuscule  muscle spindle  Ruffini's corpuscule Merkel disc pain receptor Which of the following helps to explain why stimulation of cones results in more acute vision than stimulation of rods? Cones are more sensitive to color than rods are  Cones require abundant light in order to be stimulated  Rods are very sensitive, and can be stimulated even in very low light, so the signals all bleed together  Cones have an almost 1:1 relationship with their axon pathways back to the cortex  Cones are highly concentrated in the fovea, and rods are not
