Differentiate between a tonic receptor and a phasic receptor.

Identify six types of tactile receptors located in the skin, and describe their sensitivities.

What three types of mechanoreceptors respond to stretching, compression, twisting, or other distortions of their plasma membrane?

What three steps are necessary for transduction to occur?

All of the following descriptions refer to dorsal column–medial lemniscal ascending pathways except one:a. they include the fasciculus gracilis and fasciculus cuneatus;b. they include a chain of three neurons;c. their connections are diffuse and poorly localized;d. they are concerned with precise transmission of one or a few related types of sensory input.

Differentiate clearly between sensation and perception.
