Question

Sensory receptor adaptation rapid and slow adaptation

Answer 1

A: Adaptation of receptors occurs when a receptor is continuously stimulated. Many receptors become less sensitive with continued stimuli. Rapidly adapting receptors are best at detecting rapidly changing signals, while slowly adapting receptors are capable of detecting a long, continuous signal.

Rapidly adapting, or phasic, receptors respond maximally but briefly to stimuli; their response decreases if the stimulus is maintained. Conversely, slowly adapting, or tonic, receptors keep firing as long as the stimulus is present.
