Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tonic receptors provide continuous information about the stimuli being monitored.

Answer: B
 Phasic receptors provide information about changes in stimuli rather than continuous information.

Answer: C
 Specialized receptor ending of afferent neuron is a type of receptor found at the end of sensory neurons.

Answer: D
 Separate cell serving as a receptor is not a specific type of receptor, and thus cannot be matched with a function.
