Question

1. Name two exteroreceptors that are not cutaneous receptors and explain your answer. 2. Some A&P; students are talking at dinner and they make the following observations. exerting on the skin. Only if you move will you be able to feel the clothing again. a. Shortly after putting on clothing the skin no longer is able to detect the light pressure that the clothing is hen you move your thumb you are aware of the movement and can describe where the thumb has moved. ever, without moving your thumb (or looking at it) you can tell where your thumb is, even though you were not aware of its location a few seconds ago. Because these students are becoming A&P; nerds they use their knowledge of physiology to explain these observations. Give your explanation of these observations.

Explanation / Answer

Question 1

Answer

The type of receptors which are present in dermis or epidermis are called cutaneous receptors. Exteroreceptors are type of receptor that can sense the external stimuli. these are part of somatosensory systems.

exteroceptors that are not cutaneous receptors are receptors(chemoreceptors) of tongue and nasal mucosa.receptors in eye that is photoreceptors and receptors in inner ear that is mechanoreceptors

these receptors stimulated to the external not by touch. they are responded to specific sensation. these are present in deeper of the body.

These cutaneous receptors are not encapsulated that includes the hair follicle receptor and markel complex receptors. mechanoreceptors in ear respond to sound and photoreceptor that are responded to light. Here the response is instant.
