on or near body surface

b)

internally, often within body organ, or viscera

c)

limited to skeletal muscle, joint capsule and tendons

9.

Mechanoreceptors: What stimulus is detected?

a)

activated by amount or changing concentration of certain chemicals (e.g., taste and smell)

b)

 activated when “deformed” to generate receptor potential

c)

activated by changes in temperature

d)

activated by intense stimuli that may damage tissue; sensation produced in pain

e)

found only in the eye; respond to light stimuli if the intensity is great enough to generate a receptor potential

10.

Chemoreceptors: What stimulus is detected?

a)

activated by amount or changing concentration of certain chemicals (e.g., taste and smell)

b)

activated by changes in temperature

c)

activated by intense stimuli that may damage tissue; sensation produced in pain

d)

found only in the eye; respond to light stimuli if the intensity is great enough to generate a receptor potential

e)

concentrated in the hypothalamus; activated by changes in concentration of electrolytes (osmolarity) in extracellular fluids

11.

Thermoreceptors: What stimulus is detected?

a)

activated by amount or changing concentration of certain chemicals (e.g., taste and smell)

b)

activated by changes in temperature

c)

activated by intense stimuli that may damage tissue; sensation produced in pain

d)

found only in the eye; respond to light stimuli if the intensity is great enough to generate a receptor potential

e)

concentrated in the hypothalamus; activated by changes in concentration of electrolytes (osmolarity) in extracellular fluids

(a)  

20.

What are the two types of stretch receptors?

(a)  

21.

Which stretch receptor is composed of fibers lying between and parallel to regular muscle fibers

-detect dynamic and static changes in muscle length

-stretch reflex-stretch on muscle causes reflex contraction
