Question
Which of the following statements is not related to Temperature Receptors?a-) Some thermal receptors responds to some chemicals (e.g. a type of cold receptorsresponds to menthol)b-) Cold sensors are just below epidermis, conveyed to the CNS by thinly myelinated Aδfibersc-) A type of free nerve ending responds to extreme heat, acid and capsaicin (hot pepper)
Solution
All of the statements provided are related to temperature receptors.
a) Some thermal receptors do respond to certain chemicals. For example, menthol can stimulate the same receptors that respond to cold temperatures, creating a cooling sensation.
b) Cold sensors, or cold thermoreceptors, are indeed located just below the epidermis. They are conveyed to the Central Nervous System (CNS) by thinly myelinated Aδ fibers.
c) A type of free nerve ending, known as nociceptors, can respond to extreme heat, acid, and capsaicin (the compound that makes hot peppers spicy). These receptors are responsible for the sensation of pain and discomfort.
Therefore, none of the statements provided are unrelated to temperature receptors.

An MD/PhD student was recording responses in differentcutaneous receptors and noted the following. One receptorwas inactive until the skin temperature was increased to33°C and then its firing rate continued to increase as the skintemperature was gradually raised to 45°C. A second receptorwas inactive until the skin temperature reached 46°C. Athird receptor was inactive at skin temperatures of 40°C, butthen steadily increases its firing rate as skin temperature waslowered to 24°C. For each of these cases, classify the type ofreceptor and the nonselective cation channel that was possiblyactivated.A. Receptor one is a thermal nociceptor and the channelactivated was TRPV1; receptor two is a thermal nociceptorand the channel activated was TRPA1; receptor three wasan innocuous cold receptor and the channel activated wasTRPV4.B. Receptor one is an innocuous warm receptor and thechannel activated was TRPV1; receptor two is a thermalnociceptor and the channel activated was TRPM8; receptorthree was an innocuous cold receptor and the channelactivated was TRPV3.C. Receptor one is an innocuous warm receptor and thechannel activated was TRPV3; receptor two is a thermalnociceptor and the channel activated was TRPV1; receptorthree was an innocuous cold receptor and the channelactivated was TRPM8.D. Receptor one is a thermal nociceptor and the channelactivated was TRPA1; receptor two is a thermal nociceptorand the channel activated was TRPV1; receptor three wasan innocuous cold receptor and the channel activated wasTRPM8
