B. The most common way to group sensory receptors is to put them into 5 categories based on the type of stimulus to which they respond

C. the only cells of the nervous system that synapse with other cells are sensory receptors and neurons

D. The only cells with which a neuron can synapse are muscle cells and gladular epithelial cells

E. all above are false

Explanation / Answer

A. most sensory receptors generate sensory impulses when appropriately stimulated and then synapse with sensory neurons which convey the impulses into the CNS ---> TRUE

B. The most common way to group sensory receptors is to put them into 5 categories based on the type of stimulus to which they respond ---> TRUE (The five types of sensory receptors are, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, proprioceptors, pain receptors, and chemoreceptors.)

C. the only cells of the nervous system that synapse with other cells are sensory receptors and neurons --> FALSE (nerons can synapse with -neurons, muscle cells, and glandular epithelial cells)

D. The only cells with which a neuron can synapse are muscle cells and gladular epithelial cells --> TRUE

E. all above are false
