Step 1
- Hearing: Hair cells Hair cells are specialized sensory cells located in the inner ear that are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound, thus they are associated with the sense of hearing. - Show more…

Match the receptors of general senses with their descriptions. Pain Receptors Tactile Corpuscles Lamellated Corpuscles Respond to temperatures above 25 C Mechanoreceptors Sensitive to light touch Found in visceral, or internal organs Free nerve endings Used to maintain posture, balance and muscle tone Proprioceptors Cold Receptors Warm Receptors Found in skeletal muscles and tendons of joints Thermoreceptors Respond to temperatures below 20 Commonly located deep in the dermis Capable of sending pain signals Found in dermal papillae Reset
To understand the types of sensory receptors, match each receptor to the appropriate classification: Merkel disks olfactory smell receptors changes in body temperature Meissner corpuscles oxygen levels in the blood light energy Pacinian corpuscles taste buds on the tongue damage to tissues proprioceptors Mechanoreceptor Pain receptor Thermoreceptor Chemoreceptors Photoreceptor
