(small, stimuli, larget, ransducable)receptor fields correspond to regions of the body that are more sensitive (i.e. fingertips and lips). ( small, stimuli, large, transducable) receptor fields correspond to regions of the body that are less sensitive (i.e. calf, back).

Needing help writing 2 paragraphs for the introduction portion and the aim portion in my lab report. Must be in your own words. Samples of what my professor used is listed below:

Introduction: Sensory receptors in the skin respond to different stimuli (e.g., pain, touch, temperature, etc.). These receptors are not distributed in the skin equally, but are concentrated in different areas of the body. The following two experiments will allow you to determine the relative distribution of the receptors for touch in the skin (Error of localization and two- point touch discrimination).

The error of localization test demonstrates how receptors in different regions of the skin are represented in the cerebral cortex. For example, every region of the skin corresponds to a specific area of the somatosensory complex in the cerebral cortex. The two-point discrimination test will assess the ability to perceive the number of stimuli placed on the skin. Areas that have a higher density of touch receptors are better able to distinguish between multiple stimuli than those with fewer touch receptors.

Part 1a-Aim: ERROR OF LOCALIZATION..To investigate the error of tactile localization of receptors in the skin
Part 1b- Two-point discrimination
Aim: To investigate the relative density of touch receptors in different regions of the body.
Part 1c- Two-point discrimination (spatial acuity in males vs females)
Aim: To investigate the spatial acuity in the pointer finger of males vs. females. Peters et al.
(2009) found that women perceived finer surface detail than men; a result that related to finger size. We will do a much simpler analysis to see if we find a similar relationship.
