🗑
What are chemoreceptors?   taste, smell, CO2, pH  
🗑
What are unencapsulate receptors?   sensory dendrites that lack a connective tissue wrapping  
🗑
What is an exmaple of unencapsulated receptors?   free nerve endings and hair receptors  
🗑

🗑
What is an example of encapsulated receptors?   Meissners corpuscles, pacinian corpuscles in skin  
🗑
What are blood cells called?   corpuscles  
🗑
What is perception created through input of a variety of specialized receptors?   proprioception  
🗑
Where are taste cells found?   on tongue and throat  
🗑
Where are taste buds found?   papillae  
🗑
