Other questions in this quiz
2. which is false of sensory receptors
- graded potentials trigger nerve impulses in the CNS
- sensation awareness and perception interpretation happens in the spinal nerves
- responds to changes in their environment
- typically stimuli to a sensor results in graded potentials
- clasified by stimulus type, location and structurel complexity
3. which is true of the following sensory receptors
- nociceptors respond to heat
- thermoreceptors respond to light
- chemo receptors responds to pressure
- mechanoreceptors respond to touch
- photoreceptors respond to damage and result in pain
4. complex receptors are associated with sight and smell as well as others
- True
- False
5. which is false of sensory receptors classified by location
- interoceptors respond to stimuli in the body
- proprioceptors respond to internal stimuli in skeletal muscle,bone, joint, ligament and tendons
- receptor types cannot have multiple location classifications
- exteroceptors respond to stimuli ahppening outside the body most are near the body surface
