Which of these types of receptors responds to pain stimuli? A. Nociceptors B. Mechanoreceptors C. Photoreceptors D. Chemoreceptors

A. Nociceptors

Effector

Part of the body that responds to the motor neuron, usually muscle or gland.

When traveling in a plane we often experience "popping" in our ears. The pressure causes an uncomfortable feeling that can be relieved by yawning. Explain why this occurs 1. _____________("due to connection of pharynx to eustachian tube. Yawning releases pressure, which in turn relieves pain due to connection of external auditory tube to eustachian tube", "Yawning releases pressure , which in turn relieves pain due to connection of external auditory tube to tympanic membrane", "Yawning releases pressure, which in turn relieves pain due to connection of pharynx to tympanic membrane", "Yawning releases pressure , which in turn relieves pain) and indicate what region of the ear undergoes this experience") 2. _____________(middle ear, internal ear, external ear); answer the question by filling in the blanks with one of the answer choices found in the parenthesis

1. Popping 2. Middle ear

Motor Neuron

Action potentials triggered by the integrating center propagate out of the CNS along the axon of a motor neuron to the effector.

If you were to find glial cells in gray matter (information processing in CNS) which ones will be located in this area? In you think there are no glial cells in this location, then select the answer choice "none". A. Astrocytes and Schwann cells B. Astrocytes and microglial cells C. Schwann cells D. Satellite cells E. None

B. Astrocytes and microglial cells

Which auditory structure is being defined by each statement below? answer each of the following questions below with one of the answer choices found in the parenthesis 1: ________(external auditory canal, auricle, tympanic membrane, round window): skin covered flap of cartilage that collects sound waves and directs them to the external auditory canal 2: ________(eustachian tube, eardrum, oval window, pinna): receives sound waves and transmits to middle ear 3: ________(eustachian tube, pinna, external auditory canal, tympanic membrane): curved tube that takes sound waves from auricle to tympanic membrane 4: ________(cerumen, paraffin, bikini wax, pinna): earwax, prevents foreign objects from coming into ear 5: ________(middle ear, pinna, eustachian tube, tympanic membrane): also known as eardrum.

Blank 1--> Auricle: skin-covered flap of cartilage that collects sound waves and directs them to the external auditory canal. Blank 2--> Tympanic membrane: receives sound waves and transmits them to the middle ear. Blank 3--> External auditory canal: curved tube that takes sound waves from the auricle to the tympanic membrane. Blank 4--> Cerumen: earwax, prevents foreign objects from coming into the ear. Blank 5--> Tympanic membrane: also known as the eardrum.

Which of the following describes titin's roles in muscle contraction? A. Accounts for muscle's excitability B. Allows the actin to recoil and stretch C. Helps to hold the actin myofilaments in position D. Anchors thick filaments to Z disc and M line

D. Anchors thick filaments to Z disc and M line

Cells provide physical support to the olfactory receptor cells and help detoxify chemicals that come in contact with the olfactory epithelium A. Olfactory receptor B. Mitral C. Basal D. Supporting

D. Supporting

Match the following different types of sensory receptors: Mechanoreceptors Thermoreceptors Photoreceptors Chemoreceptor Nociceptors With its corresponding functions --> - Respond to painful stimuli resulting from physical or chemical damage to tissues - Sensitive to mechanical such as deformation, stretching, or bending of cells. Provide of pressure, vibration, proprioception, and - Detect chemicals in the mouth (taste ), nose (smell), and body fluids - Detect changes in temperature - Detect light that strikes the retina of the eye

Mechanoreceptors: Sensitive to mechanical stimuli such as deformation, stretching, or bending of cells. Provide the sense of pressure, vibration, proprioception (awareness of body position), and tactile sensations. Thermoreceptors: Detect changes in temperature. Photoreceptors: Detect light that strikes the retina of the eye. Chemoreceptors: Detect chemicals in the mouth (taste), nose (smell), and body fluids. Nociceptors: Respond to painful stimuli resulting from physical or chemical damage to tissues.
