Tactition receptors are abundant in human:

Correct answer: A. Sole

  • A. Sole
  • B. Lips
  • C. Back of the hand
  • D. Palm

Explanation

Tactition receptors are abundant in the human sole, which is the bottom part of the foot. These receptors are responsible for detecting and relaying information about touch and pressure sensations. They help us perceive textures, balance, and navigate our surroundings. So, the sole of the foot is an important area for tactile sensitivity.

About Receptors

Receptors are specialized cells or proteins that detect stimuli such as light, sound, pressure, temperature and chemicals, then initiate responses through sensory or hormonal pathways. Questions distinguish sensory receptors from effectors, compare receptor types, and examine stimulus conversion into nerve impulses, including the roles of rods, cones, chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.
