- Which two types of receptors would you expect to find in "tubes" inside your body — namely, blood vessels and the respiratory, digestive, + urinary tracts? Group of answer choices Thermoreceptors Nociceptors Proprioceptors Chemoreceptors Tactile receptors Baroreceptorsarrow_forwardTable to compare the different types of sensory receptors and to predict the results of damage of each. Please I need a surely answer and a quicker responsearrow_forwardAfter you sniff an odorant, the odorant then O is prepared for the olfactory receptor cells by the basal cells. O dissolves in the mucus layer. O is endocytosed. O is degraded. O binds to an ionotropic receptor.arrow_forward
- Although all sensory receptors are specific for one type of stimulus, they all produce the same output signal. What is this signal?arrow_forwardThe olfactory system has many receptor types but the transduction process is very similar in each receptor type. What do these transduction processes all have in common? They all use G protein-coupled receptors. They are all linked to a particular gustatory (taste) receptor type. O They all use ionotropic receptors. O They all involve temporarily hyperpolarizing the receptors, rather than depolarizing them.arrow_forwardDistinguish between tonic and phasic receptors.

- Which of the following statements is NOT true about the sensory systems? Chemoreceptors are responsible for our senses of taste and smell Mechanoreceptors respond to physical motion and changes in shape A constant sensory stimulus may eventually lead to a decreased response thanks to sensory adaptation All of our senses except for sight travel through the thalamus where they eventually go on to the primary sensory area of the cerebrum Our sensory systems respond to external stimuli like sight and sound, but also internal stimuli like blood sugar levels or muscle contractionsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is a structure that is activated by a particular stimulus and whose activation results in action potentials in a sensory neuron? Sensory adaptation Sensory receptor Sensation Sensory perceptionarrow_forward
