Receptor types
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1What do free nerve endings detect? What is their rate of adaption?Temperature and Pain, Slow
- 2What do Meissner corpuscles detect? What is their rate of adaption?Touch and pressure, Rapid
- 3What do pacinian corpuscles detect? What is their rate of adaption?Deep pressure vibration, Rapid
- 4What do Merkel disks detect? What is their rate of adaption?Touch and pressure, slow
- 5What do Ruffins corpuscle detect? What is their rate of adaption?Stretching, Slow
- 6What do Karaus end blubs detect? What is their rate of adaption?Cold, Slow
- 7Which two receptors have a small receptive field? Which two receptors have a large receptive field? How does the receptive field affect the definition of their boarders.Small receptive area - Messiner corpuscle, Merkle Disk. Large receptive area - Pacinian corpuscles and ruffins corpuscle. As the receptive field the boarder becomes more vague.
- 8Which two receptors detect deep pressure?Pacinian corpuscles, Ruffins corpuscle.
