What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
Receptors stimulated by changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors
What happens when the receptors in the skin are stimulated?
skin infection
Which is the first structure stimulated in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptors.
What receptors are stimulated in the micturition reflex?
Stretch receptors in the bladder wall are stimulated during bladder filling, sending signals to the spinal cord. Parasympathetic nerve fibers release acetylcholine to contract the detrusor muscle and relax the internal urethral sphincter. Sympathetic fibers release norepinephrine to contract the external urethral sphincter, allowing for voluntary control.
What receptors are stimulated by tissue damage?
Nociceptors are stimulated by tissue damage and are also called pain receptorsSourceIntroduction to the Human Bodyby Gerard Tortora and Bryan Derrickson
During CPR the heart and what are stimulated?
During CPR the heart and lungs are stimulated.
How are sound receptors stimulated?
Sound receptors, such as hair cells in the inner ear, are stimulated by sound waves entering the ear. These sound waves cause the hairs on the hair cells to bend, generating an electrical signal that is then sent to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain processes this signal as sound.
Sour taste receptors are stimulated by hydrogen ions of acidic food substances?
Yes, that's correct. Sour taste receptors on the taste buds are stimulated by the presence of hydrogen ions in acidic food substances. When these ions bind to specific receptors on taste cells, they generate a signal that is sent to the brain, which we perceive as sour taste.
What part of the cell is stimulated by outside chemicals triggering the cell to carry out specific functions?
Cell surface receptors are stimulated by outside chemicals, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, which in turn trigger the cell to carry out specific functions. The binding of these chemicals to the receptors initiates a signaling cascade within the cell that leads to various cellular responses.
The process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors is called?
The process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors is called sensory localization. This involves the brain integrating sensory information from different receptors to create a coherent perception of the world around us, including determining the location of the source of a sensation.
Do thermoreceptors adapt to warm and cold slowly?
Thermo receptors can adapt to stimuli. The temperature change at first strongly stimulated the thermo receptors. With continued exposure, the warmth receptors quickly stop responding but not completely. Sensation is not as noticeable.
