Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following respond to intense pressure or damage to tissues? Is it answer choice? A mechanical noso acceptor, answer choice. B thermal noso acceptor answer choice. C polymodal noso acceptor or answer choice D proprioceptors. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the correct answer. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall which of the following response to intense pressure or damage to tissues. And we can recall that sensory receptors that respond to potentially harmful stimuli are known as noso acceptors. Specifically noso acceptors related to strong mechanical forces or mechanical damage. In this case, intense pressure or damage to tissues are mechanical noso acceptors. So answer choice. A mechanical noso acceptor is the correct answer. And all other answer choices are incorrect. Since thermal noso acceptors, polymodal noso acceptors and proprioceptors all respond to other types of stimuli and not intense pressure or damage to tissues. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
