Question

question 2
sensory receptors that are responsible for the sensation of heat when applied to the skin are the
○ corpuscles of touch
○ lamellated corpuscles
○ root hair plexuses
○ organs of ruffini
○ bulbs of krause
○ free nerve endings

Explanation:

• Corpuscles of touch (Meissner's corpuscles) detect light touch.
• Lamellated corpuscles (Pacinian corpuscles) detect deep pressure and vibration.
• Root hair plexuses detect hair movement.
• Organs of Ruffini detect skin stretch.
• Bulbs of Krause were once thought to detect cold (though this is now debated).
• Free nerve endings are responsible for detecting pain, temperature (including heat), and crude touch.

Answer:

Free Nerve Endings
