Match the following types of sensation to their corresponding receptors: Hearing | Special Visceral Afferent, Taste | Special Somatic Afferent, Smell | Special Visceral Afferent, Sight | Special Somatic Afferent.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match different types of sensory modalities (hearing, taste, smell, sight) to their respective receptor categories (Special Visceral Afferent, Special Somatic Afferent). This will involve understanding the relationship between the senses and the type of nerves that convey sensory information.
Answer
Hearing: Special Somatic Afferent, Taste: Special Visceral Afferent, Smell: Special Visceral Afferent, Sight: Special Somatic Afferent.
Hearing - Special Somatic Afferent, Taste - Special Visceral Afferent, Smell - Special Visceral Afferent, Sight - Special Somatic Afferent
Answer for screen readers
Hearing - Special Somatic Afferent, Taste - Special Visceral Afferent, Smell - Special Visceral Afferent, Sight - Special Somatic Afferent
More Information
The sensory modalities are traditionally categorized into special and general visceral or somatic afferents, each associated with specific sensory inputs.
Tips
Avoid misclassifying the sensations as visceral when they are somatic or vice versa, as the distinctions relate to embryological origin and function within the nervous system.
