3 Questions
What do mechanoreceptors respond to?
Touch, pressure or vibration
What is the difference between Aβ fibres and Aδ/C fibres?
Aβ fibres carry non-painful information from mechanoreceptors while Aδ/C fibres carry information from nociceptors
What is the function of nociceptors?
To respond to strong stimuli that are harmful or potentially harmful to tissues
Test your understanding of receptors and nociceptors with this quiz! Learn about the different types of receptors found in peripheral tissues and their responses to stimuli such as touch, pressure, and temperature. Explore the role of ion channels in producing electrical impulses and how nociceptors respond to painful stimuli. Sharpen your knowledge of these important sensory components with this informative quiz.
