What is the phisiology of adaptation of touch and temperature receptors?
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Given that receptive fields for touch do not exhibit uniform sensitivity across their whole extent, describe the two patterns of response sensitivity. And do these two types convey essentially the same or different information to the brain?How are different touch receptors distributed over the body?Identify six types of tactile receptors found in the skin and their sensitivities.
- Which areas of the body are the most sensitive to touch? Least? Relate the size of the two-point threshold on different areas of the body to touch receptor density and receptive field size.Do cold receptors adapt quickly?How does the concentration of touch receptors seem to vary from region to region?
