Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tonic receptors always send a signal, but the rate of action potentials changes as a result of stimulation. Phasic receptors only send a signal when there is a change in the stimulus, unlike tonic receptors which have a constant firing rate. Therefore, the correct choice is B, which refers to tonic receptors.
