D

Which statement regarding sensory reception is correct A. Output from higher centers can dampen receptor sensitivity B. In general, the stronger the stimulus, the lower the frequency of action potentials C. The CNS can tell the difference between a true sensation and a false one D. The CNS interprets the nature of sensory information entirely on the basis of the area of the brain stimulated E. The larger the receptive field, the better is one's ability to localize a stimulus

D

D

Your grandmother who lives in an assisted living facility is always complaining about how bad the food is.

She has had a stroke that affected her primary gustatory cortex B. Your grandmother only likes food that she cooks C. She has no functional olfactory receptors anymore, and smell is a dominant part of taste D. She has fewer gustatory cells in her taste bud receptors E. Because of wear and tear on her tongue over the years, her taste buds are gone

D
