Question

which of the following is not used to classify sensory receptors?
location

the number of dendritic endings present

the type of stimulus they detect

structural complexity

Explanation:

Sensory receptors are classified by location (e.g., exteroceptors, interoceptors), type of stimulus (e.g., mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors), and structural complexity (simple vs. complex). The number of dendritic endings is not a standard classification criterion.

Answer:

B. the number of dendritic endings present
