Question 8

TrypV1 receptor is responsible for

Answer 8

sense of pain-nocioception and temperature-permoception

Question 9

3 different fibers that are connected to the TrpV1 receptors

Answer 9

fast
medium
slow

Question 10

fast fibers

Answer 10

fibres A-beta
big diameter
covered in myelin
fats response to stimulus

Question 11

medium fibers

Answer 11

A-delta fibres
smaller diameter
covered in less myelin
less resistance high conductance

Question 12

small fibers

Answer 12

C-fibres
small diameter
unmyelinated

Question 13

capsaicin

Answer 13

are spicy molecules that bind to TrpV1 receptors in the tongue
causes pain and hotness
