a sensory nerve ending that is sensitive to mechanical stimuli, found in the dermis
in various parts of the body. - Answer Meissner's corpuscles
an encapsulated ending of a sensory nerve that acts as a receptor for pressure
and vibration. - Answer Pacinian corpuscles
sense innocuous environmental temperature - Answer warm/cold receptors
,sensory receptors within the belly of a muscle that primarily detect changes in the
length of this muscle. - Answer Muscle spindles
is a proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that senses changes in muscle tension.
- Answer Golgi tendon organs
the sensation that results when olfactory receptors in the nose are stimulated by
particular chemicals in gaseous form - Answer olfactory sensation
The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sweetness,
sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami. - Answer taste sensation
The hearing receptors are also known as hair cells. These are auditory receptors
that transform vibrations causes by sound waves into neural impulses that are
then transmitted to the brain through the auditory nerve. The hair cells are not
real hairs but are cells with 100 or so projections sticking out that bend in
response to movements of the basilar membrane. - Answer hearing receptors
When forces acting on an object which is at rest are balanced, then we say that
the object is in a state of static equilibrium. - Answer static equilibrium
,a state of balance between continuing processes. - Answer dynamic equilibrium
retina, cornea, iris, lens, sclera, choroid coat - Answer basic anatomical parts of
the eye
Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not
mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity. - Answer rods
Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision
and are responsible for high spatial acuity. The central fovea is populated
exclusively by cones. There are 3 types of cones which we will refer to as the
short-wavelength sensitive cones, the middle-wavelength sensitive cones and the
long-wavelength sensitive cones or S-cone, M-cones, and L-cones for short -
Answer cones
decomposition - Answer breakdown is the separation of a chemical compound
into elements or simpler compounds
reactant - Answer a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a
reaction
, product - Answer The substances that result from this recombination of atoms
acid - Answer an electrolyte that dissociates into a hydrogen ion (H+) and an
anion
base - Answer Substances that combine with H+ and make a solution less acidic.
Represented by OH-
ph scale - Answer unit of measurement that indicates how many H+ ions are in a
solution
organic molecules - Answer molecule containing carbon atoms; carbs, proteins,
lipids
inorganic molecules - Answer chemical substance that is not organic; water, acids,
bases
dehydration synthesis - Answer chemical reaction in which water is formed during
formation of a complex molecule
