Question

Characterize each receptor activity described below by choosing the appropriate letter and number(s) from keys A and B.
___    , _  (1) You are enjoying an ice cream cone.
_    , _  (2) You have just scalded yourself with hot coffee.
_    , _  (3) The retinas of your eyes are stimulated.
_    , _  (4) You bump (lightly) into someone.
_    , _  (5) You are in a completely dark room and reaching toward the light switch.
_    , ___  (6) You feel uncomfortable after a large meal.
Key A:
a. Exteroceptor
b. Interoceptor
c. Proprioceptor
Key B:
(1) Chemoreceptor
(2) Mechanoreceptor
(3) Nociceptor
(4) Photoreceptor
(5) Thermoreceptor

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Understand the two keys provided in the problem. Key A refers to the type of receptor based on its location and function: (a) exteroceptor detects stimuli from outside the body, (b) interoceptor detects internal stimuli, and (c) proprioceptor detects body position and movement. Key B refers to the type of receptor based on the nature of the stimulus: (1) chemoreceptor detects chemical changes, (2) mechanoreceptor detects mechanical changes like pressure or touch, (3) nociceptor detects pain, (4) photoreceptor detects light, and (5) thermoreceptor detects temperature changes. Step 2: Analyze each scenario described in the problem and determine the appropriate receptor type from Key A. For example, if the stimulus is external (like enjoying an ice cream cone), it would likely involve an exteroceptor. If the stimulus is internal (like feeling uncomfortable after a large meal), it would involve an interoceptor. Step 3: Match the stimulus described in each scenario to the appropriate receptor type from Key B. For instance, enjoying an ice cream cone involves taste, which is detected by chemoreceptors, while scalding yourself with hot coffee involves pain, which is detected by nociceptors. Step 4: Combine the receptor type from Key A with the stimulus type from Key B for each scenario. For example, enjoying an ice cream cone would be characterized as 'a, 1' (exteroceptor and chemoreceptor). Step 5: Repeat the process for all six scenarios, ensuring that each is matched to the correct combination of receptor type and stimulus type. Use the descriptions provided in the problem to guide your choices.
