The Chemoreceptors for detection changes in osmotic pressure of blood are found in……..
a) skin
b) kidney
c) blood vessels
d) hypothalamus
Explanation: Chemoreceptors for osmotic pressure are Osmoreceptors
Which of the following receptors detect changes in pressure, position or acceleration?
a) photoreceptors
b) chemoreceptors
c) mechanoreceptors
d) Nociceptors
Explanation Mechanoreceptors are a type of somatosensory receptors which relay extracellular stimulus to intracellular signal transduction through mechanically gated ion channels.
Which of the following receptors detect temperature?
a) photoreceptors
b) thermoreceptors
c) mechanoreceptors
d) Nociceptors
Explanation A thermoreceptor is a sensory receptor or, more accurately, the receptive portion of a sensory neuron that codes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range.
Which of the following receptors detect pain?
a) photoreceptors
b) chemoreceptors
c) mechanoreceptors
d) Nociceptors
Explanation Specialized peripheral sensory neurons known as nociceptors alert us to potentially damaging stimuli at the skin by detecting extremes in temperature and pressure and injury-related chemicals
