The five types of sensory receptors are:
- Chemoreceptors
- Pain Receptors
- Thermoreceptors
- Mechanoreceptors
- Photoreceptors
2
The three touch and pressure senses are:
- Free nerve endings: Are common in the epithelial tissue. They are responsible for the sensation of itching.
- Tactile corpuscles: Are small, oval masses of flattened connective tissue cells. They respond to the motion of objects that barely contact the skin, interpret impulses from them as the sensation of light touch.
- Lamellated corpuscles: Compose of connective tissue fibers and cells. They respond to heavy pressure and are associated with the sensation of deep pressure.
3
There are two types of temperature receptors:
- Warm receptors: Are most sensitive to temp. above 25 Celsius and become unresponsive at temp. above 45 Celsius . Temperature near and above this stimulates pain receptors which produces the burning sensation.
- Cold receptors: Most sensitive at temps. between 10 Celsius and 20 Celsius. Any temp. below 10 Celsius stimulates the pain receptors causing a freezing sensation.
4
Acute Pain Fiber: Are myelinated. Conducts impulses rapidly and are associated with the sensation of sharp pain.
Chronic Pain Fiber: Are unmyelinated. Conduct impulses more slowly and produce a dull, aching sensation that may diffuse.
5
The five primary taste sensations are:
- Sweet
- Sour
- Salty
- Bitter
- Umami
6
The two types of photoreceptors are:
-Rods: Very sensitive to dim light. Allows you to see at night.
-Cones: Sensitive to bright light. Detects color and visual acuity.
