Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proprioceptors are receptors that provide information about the position or movement of body parts.

Answer: C
 Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli such as pressure, touch, or stretch.

Answer: A
 General sense organs are receptors that respond to a variety of stimuli including temperature, pain, and pressure.

 Special sense organs are responsible for the senses of taste, smell, vision, hearing, and equilibrium.

Answer: I
 Gustatory cells are specialized cells responsible for the sense of taste.

Answer: J
 Olfactory receptors are specialized cells responsible for the sense of smell.

Answer: B
 Pacinian corpuscles are a type of mechanoreceptor that detect pressure and vibration.

Answer: F
 Papillae are small bumps on the tongue that contain taste buds.

Answer: G
