Choose the correct receptor type from column B for each description given in column A.
Column A Column B
(1) pain, itch, and temperature receptors (a) bulbous corpuscles
(b) tendon organs
(c) muscle spindles
(d) free nerve ending
(e) lamellar corpuscles
(f) tactile corpuscles
(2) contain intrafusal fibers and
flower spray endings
(3) discriminative touch receptors in
shairless skin (fingertips)
(4) contain nerve endings wrapped
around thick collagen bundles
in a tendon
(5) rapidly adapting deep-pressure
mechanoreceptors
(6) slowly adapting deep-pressure
mechanoreceptors
The nerves that lie outside the central nervous system belong to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Sense organs are composed of nervous tissues that respond to only a specific type of stimulus.
Sensory receptors are structures that are involved in detecting or receiving sensory information from various parts of the body. They are classified into different types based on their function. Mechanoreceptors are sensory structures that are involved in sensing the changes in mechanical pressure.
