Choose the correct statement about receptors

Options

(a) Nociceptors respond to changes in pressure
(b) Meissner’s corpuscles are thermoreceptors
(c) photoreceptors in human eye are depolarized during darkness and become hyperpolarized in response to the light stimulus
(d) receptors do not produce graded potentials

Correct Answer:

photoreceptors in human eye are depolarized during darkness and become hyperpolarized in response to the light stimulus
