Question
Chapter 16, Problem 11DYB
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The five classifications of receptors according to the modality of stimulus and also to cite an example of each.
Concept introduction:
The smallest unit of life is a cell. It is the structural, functional and basic unit of life. Cells make tissues and tissues make organ systems and organ systems make organisms. The nervous system is a type of organ system and is the master controller of all the organ systems in humans. It works on the basis of response and stimulus. There are certain receptors with help of which humans can receive stimulus.
