Question
Chapter 10, Problem 5RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The characteristic features of tonic receptors.
Introduction:
Receptors are the protein channels present in the membranes that bind with ligand to produce response. Sensory receptors are those that are present in the sensory organs and get stimulated by the external environment signals. Sensory adaptations occur by two types of receptors, namely the tonic and phasic receptors.
