bending of light rays as they pass from air to fluid is called

refraction
information about the position of the knee joint is provided by

proprioceptors
a receptors ability to decrease its sensitivity to a continious stimuls called

the receptor that senses touch

tactile corpsule
receptor sensitive to temperature and pain

free nerve endings
from suoerficial to deep, the order of the eyeball's tunocs
