Josh and a bunch of friends decided to see how many people they could squeeze into a small car for a charity event. once inside, josh felt it get hot, smelly, and like the air was getting squished out of his lungs. he also noticed aches and pains in his joints. which of the following statements best describes the type of sensory neurons involved? a) his interoceptors were monitoring his respiratory system.
b) his exteroceptors were bringing in information from the outside world.
c) the proprioceptors were monitoring the position of his skeletal muscles and joints.
d) the interoceptors, exteroceptors, and proprioceptors were all monitoring his condition.

The correct answer will be option- D

Explanation:

The sensory receptors are divided into three types depending on the sensation they perceive: the interoceptors, exteroceptors and the proprioceptors.

The interoceptors are associated with the regulation of the internal system of the body by sensing regulating the blood pressure, reduced oxygen level and pain.

The exteroceptors are associated with the mechanical stimuli caused by the vibration, touch and sound with the receptors present in the skin.

Proprioceptors are associated with the stimuli caused by the vibration, movement and the equilibrium present beneath the skin.

In the given case, since the person felt hot, pain in joints and the change in the air pressure thus, his all receptors were involved in the stimuli.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
