Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Chemo receptors
Concept:

Gustation (taste) requires identifying the molecular composition of ingested food.

Solution:

  • Taste receptors contain specialized cells that bind chemically to specific tastants (salts, sugars, acids) dissolved in saliva. Because they transduce chemical information into electrical signals, they are classified as chemoreceptors.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Mechanoreceptors: Detect physical forces (touch/hearing).


  • Nociceptors: Detect tissue damage (pain).


  • Photo receptors: Detect light (vision).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
