Tipos de Receptores

What are the types of sensory receptors?

• sound receptors, smell receptors, taste receptors

• temperature receptors, humidity receptors, pain receptors

• pressure receptors, light receptors, motion receptors

• mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors

What are mechanoreceptors and what is their function?

• They are sensory cells that respond to mechanical stimuli and their function is to detect and transmit information about touch, pressure, and body position.

• They are auditory cells that respond to sound stimuli and their function is to detect and transmit information about balance and spatial orientation.

• They are olfactory cells that respond to visual stimuli and their function is to detect color and light.

• They are gustatory cells that respond to mechanical stimuli and their function is to detect the taste and texture of food.

Explain the function of thermoceptors receptors.

• Regulate blood pressure

• Detect changes in body temperature

• Produce hormones in the body

• Detect sounds in the environment

What is the difference between nociceptors and proprioceptors?

• Nociceptors detect pain, while proprioceptors detect the body's position and movement.

• Nociceptors detect movement, while proprioceptors detect pain.

• Nociceptors detect cold, while proprioceptors detect heat.

• Nociceptors detect sound, while proprioceptors detect light.

What are chemoreceptors and where are they located?

• They are found in the digestive system.

• They are found in the nose, tongue, and other sensory organs.

• They are found in the bones and muscles.

• They are found in the lungs and heart.

Describe the function of the photoreceptor receptors.

• The photoreceptors are cells sensitive to sound found in the retina of the eye.

• The photoreceptors are cells sensitive to touch found in the retina of the eye.

• The photoreceptors are cells sensitive to light found in the retina of the eye.

• The photoreceptors are cells sensitive to taste found in the retina of the eye.

What are the types of olfactory receptors?

• Olfactory receptors of type A, B and C

• Olfactory receptors of type I, II and III

• Olfactory receptors of type X, Y and Z

• Olfactory receptors of type 1, 2 and 3

Explain the function of gustatory receptors.

• The function of gustatory receptors is to detect the colors of food.

• The function of gustatory receptors is to detect the temperature of food.

• The function of gustatory receptors is to detect flavors in food.

• The function of gustatory receptors is to detect the sounds of food.

What is the importance of cutaneous receptors in the human body?

• They allow us to perceive tactile sensations, pressure, temperature, and pain.

• They allow us to see in the dark

• They are not important in the human body

• They are only important for aesthetics

How are receptors classified based on their location in the body?

• Visual receptors and olfactory receptors

• Weak receptors and strong receptors

• Superficial receptors and deep receptors

• Internal receptors and external receptors
