Which of the following sensory receptors is correctly paired with its category?

B) muscle spindle-electromagnetic receptor
C) taste receptor-mechanoreceptor
D) rod-chemoreceptor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hair cells are sensory receptors found in the inner ear that respond to mechanical movement and are classified as mechanoreceptors. Muscle spindles are also classified as mechanoreceptors, but they respond to changes in muscle length, not sound or movement. Taste receptors respond to chemical stimuli, not mechanical stimuli, and are therefore not classified as mechanoreceptors. Rods are photoreceptors that respond to light, and are not classified as chemoreceptors.
