Which functionality would be most affected if you lost your SA I (Merkel) touch receptors? A. The ability to feel when an object you are holding contacts another object, or a mosquito landing on your arm B. Sensitivity to finger position and downward skin pressure, as when holding an object C. Texture perception and pattern/form perception, like for reading Braille D. The ability to detect stable grasp and whether an object is slipping E. The ability to sense cold and warmth of objects touching the skin QUESTION 4 The A-delta and C fibers are types of A. photoreceptors. B. thermoreceptors. C. nociceptors. D. mechanoreceptors. E. Both b and c QUESTION 5 Suppose you hit your shin on a piece of furniture and it starts to hurt. Which theory explains why rubbing your shin might make it hurt less? A. Pain sensitization theory B. Theory of kinesthetics C. Theory of vestibulation D. Two-point threshold E. Gate control theory QUESTION 6 Which functionality would be most affected if you lost your FA II (Pacinian) touch receptors? A. Texture perception and pattern/form perception, like for reading Braille B. The ability to feel when an object you are holding contacts another object, or a mosquito landing on your arm C.
