Question
Which of the following receptors are found near the surface of the skin?
- Exteroceptors
- Proprioceptors
- Interceptors
- Visceroceptors
Hint:
Exteroceptors are the sensory receptors that detect stimuli originating from the outside of the body.
The correct answer is: Exteroceptors
- An exteroceptor is a receptor that is located near a stimulus in the external environment, such as the somatosensory receptors that are located in the skin.
- They are present near the surface of the skin and mediate vision, sound, smell, and cutaneous sensations such as touch, pain, vibration, temperature, itching, and tickling.
