|| || || || || || || || ||
General senses - ✔✔have receptors scattered throughout the body
|| || || || || || || ||
Nociceptors - ✔✔free nerve endings that convey the sense of pain
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Mechanoreceptors - ✔✔establish an action potential in response to physical deformation || || || || || || || || || ||
They may measure "touch" = - ✔✔tactile receptors
|| || || || || || ||
Mechanoreceptors might measure changes in pressure when they are called? - || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔baroreceptors or pressoreceptors || ||
Proprioreceptors are also - ✔✔mechanoreceptors || || || ||
Proprioception is the sense of? - ✔✔body position and motion
|| || || || || || || || ||
Exteroreceptors are? - ✔✔receptors that respond to a stimulus outside the body such as
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
touch or temperature

Receptors for the special sense are? - ✔✔localized in special, complex sensory structure
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
, Chemical senses - ✔✔The receptors for these sense respond to specific molecular stimuli.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
The chemical sense are? - ✔✔olfaction, gustation, and a sense called the "common
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
chemical" sense. ||
