Question

Classify the given terms or examples with the appropriate category.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. general stimulus origin: Proprioceptors, Exteroreceptors, Interoceptors

b. special modality of stimulus:  Baroreceptors, Chemoreceptors Thermoreceptors

Explanation:

The sensory modality of stimulus refers to the aspect of a stimulus, and the sensation that is felt after a stimulus has had effect. Different sensory modalities include, temperature(thermoreceptors), light, chemicals(chemoreceptors), pressure(baroreceptors), and sound.

Stimulus origin is a classification system of receptors that indicates where a stimulus stems from. Exteroreceptors detect stimuli from the external environment and an example is the receptors found in the nasal cavity. Interoceptors are found in the internal organs and typically affect the smooth muscles of these organs. Proprioceptors are found in muscles, joints and tendons.
