Question

Specialized cells that are sensitive to vibration, pain and tension are called _________

• A. Proprioceptors
• B. Baroreceptors
• C. Statoacoustic receptors
• D. Frigidoreceptors

Hint:

{Proprioceptors = position + movement + tension}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding proprioceptors.
Proprioceptors are specialized sensory receptors present in muscles, tendons, and joints that detect changes in muscle stretch, tension, vibration, and pain.

Step 2: Eliminating incorrect options.
Baroreceptors detect blood pressure changes.
Statoacoustic receptors are involved in balance and hearing.
Frigidoreceptors respond to cold temperature.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, cells sensitive to vibration, pain, and tension are proprioceptors.
