Answer:

Explanation:

The cutaneous receptors' are the types of sensory receptor found in the dermis or epidermis. They are a part of the somatosensory system. Cutaneous receptors include cutaneous mechanoreceptors, nociceptors (pain) and thermoreceptors (temperature).......

Within the somatosensory system, there are four main types of receptors: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, pain receptors, and proprioceptors......

Mechanoreceptors are a type of somatosensory receptors which relay extracellular stimulus to intracellular signal transduction through mechanically gated ion channels. The external stimuli are usually in the form of touch, pressure, stretching, sound waves, and motion...

A thermoreceptor is a non-specialised sense receptor, or more accurately the receptive portion of a sensory neuron, that codes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range. ... For cold receptors their firing rate increases during cooling and decreases during warming......

Pain receptors, also called nociceptors, are a group of sensory neurons with specialized nerve endings widely distributed in the skin, deep tissues (including the muscles and joints), and most of visceral organs...

Proprioceptors are sensory nerves that are located in muscles, tendons, and joints throughout the body that furnish information concerning movements and positions of the limbs, trunk, head and neck.

May it help you...please don't mind for extra long answer!

Which of the cell types shown helps determine capillary permeability?
alexira [117]

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.
