Question
Phasic receptors
are quick to adapt to a particular stimulus intensity.
slowly decrease the frequency of action potentials generated to a constant stimulus.
are attune to parameters that the body must continuously assess.
once threshold is reached by a stimulus will always generate action potentials
change their sensitivity in phases going from slow to fast
The area monitored by a single receptor is called
Neural area
Receptor field
Receptive field
Receptor specificity
Receptor modality
The specific receptors responsible for rotation found in the semicircular canals is called
Ampulla
Vestibule
Auricle
Saccule
Crista
The papillae that is not responsible for any taste is called
Fungiform
Foliate
Filiform
Circumvallate
They are all associated with taste buds
The area in your eye which is used for “fine focusing” the light that travels into the posterior cavity of your eye giving you a “crisp” “sharp” image is known as
Optic disc
Retina
Fovea
Lens
Choroid
A decrease in ones perception of a stimulus whose intensity has not changed due to higher neural inhibition is
habituation.
convergence.
divergence.
Adaptation
Illusion
Explanation / Answer
1. Option A is correct.
Phasic receptors respond with a burst of activity when a stimulus is first applied and then quickly decrease their firing rate.
2. Option C is correct.
The area monitored by a single receptor is called Receptive field.
3. Option E is correct.
Crista ampullaris are the receptors responsible for detecting angular acceleration.
4. Option C is correct.
Filiform papillae are not associated with any taste.
5. Option D is correct.
The lens is used to focus light rays on the retina.
6. Option A is correct.
A decrease in one's perception of a stimulus whose intensity has not changed due to higher neural inhibition is known as habituation.
