Document Summary
Student: __________________________________________________________________________: all aspects of a memory are stored together in the brain. True false: the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors is called perception. True false: the sense of taste is an example of a general sense. True false: visceroreceptors are receptors associated with joints, tendons, and other connective tissue. True false: the simplest and most common type of sensory nerve endings are free nerve endings. True false: the sensory speech area is broca area. True false: the ability to detect simultaneous stimulation at two points on the skin is called two-point discrimination. What structure does a represent: meissner corpuscles, free nerve endings, ruffini end organ, pacinian corpuscle, merkel disks, the diagram illustrates sensory nerve endings in the skin. What structure does b represent: meissner corpuscles, free nerve endings, ruffini end organ, pacinian corpuscle, merkel disks, the diagram illustrates sensory nerve endings in the skin.
