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?

If there is an increase in stimulus strength on a pain receptor but more pain is not felt, which of the following would explain this? sodium channels are opened with the stimulus stimulus increase from submaximal to subthreshold pain receptor adapt to the large stimulus frequency of action potentials os unchanged
What is the key difference between tonic and phasic receptors? Why are pain receptors tonic?
What is the best physiological explanation as to why a particular area has a low two-point threshold? A greater skin surface area always results in a lower two-point threshold because there is physically more room in which to house sensory receptors. With a low two-point threshold, there is a greater density of sensory receptors to allow for more precise location of the sensation by the somatosensory cortex. O A low threshold suggests a decreased sensation in that area, meaning a wide receptive field on that area of skin.

How are visceral nociceptors different from somaticnociceptors, and how do they relate to the phenomenon knownas “referred pain”?
Describe each of the following types of receptors, indicating what sensation it detects and giving an example of where it can be found in the body: pain receptors (nociceptors), temperature receptors,mechanoreceptors (including proprioceptors and barorceptors/pressoreceptors), chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
We discussed three principles with regards to the sensory cortex (mechanisms of perception), with one of them being a hierarchical organization. Using the somatosensory system as an example (specifically the exteroceptive part of that system), state each level of the hierarchy with regards to this system, beginning with the one at the lowest level of the hierarchy to the final uppermost level. give the name at each level as it corresponds with this system.
In the process of sensory coding Recruitment of additional neurons occurs with a weak stimulus in order to make the stimulus stronger. The larger the receptive field of a sensory receptor, the greater the expected acuity and the more accurate the two-point discrimination. Lateral inhibition of neighboring receptors resulting in a relative reduction of action potentials in the neighboring second order neurons would be expected to increase acuity. A receptor potential that remains suprathreshold into the absolute refractory period will result in additional action potentials.
Without the presence of _______, sensations of pain in a somatic location that are not due to nociceptor stimulation in that region may not be experienced. A.) third order neurons B.) mechanoreceptors C.) interneurons D.) receptive fields E.) autonomic neurons
