Question

Choose the CORRECT statement. 

Options

• Receptors do not produce graded potentials.

• Nociceptors respond to changes m pressure.

• Meissner's corpuscles are thermoreceptors. 

• Photoreceptors in the human eye are depolarized during darkness and become hyperpolarized in response to the light stimulus. 

Answer 1

Photoreceptors in the human eye are depolarized during darkness and become hyperpolarized in response to the light stimulus. 

Explanation:

Changes in touch and pressure trigger a response from tactile / tangoreceptors. Meissner's corpuscles (dermis) exhibit tactile and tangoreceptive activity.
