90
list the 4 major types of cutaneous sense receptors
1. touch receptors 2. pressure receptors 3. thermoreceptors 4. nocireceptors
91
receptor = ?
sensory neuron (part of NS)
92
cutaneous sense receptors are a:
specialized cell that responds to stimuli (touch, temp. pain)
93
specialized cell that responds to stimuli (touch, temp. pain)
cutaneous sense receptors
94
name the 3 touch receptors
* free nerve endings (in epidermis) * root hair plexuses * meissner's corpscles (in dermal papillae)
95
name the 2 pressure receptors and their locations
1. free nerve endings (in dermis) 2. pacinian corpuscles (deep in drmis or hypodermis)
96
thermoreceptors
* free nerve endings for temperature
97
nociceptors
* free nerve endings for pain * 3rd degree burns = no pain because nociceptors DESTROYED :O
98
sense receptors: thermoreceptors = tempurature nociceptors = pain \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **P**ressure receptor = **P for pacinian corpuscles**, therefore....Touch receptors have Meissner's corpuscles
99
