EXPERIMENT 4: SKIN RECEPTORS Introduction Questions 1. Certain areas of the body will have a greater concentration of skin receptors. Formulate a hypothesis that aims to predict where you will find the highest and lowest density of receptors. Use what you know about skin receptors to provide reasoning that backs up your hypothesis. The areas of the body that are most used for touching/sensing will have a higher concentration of skin receptors than areas that are less involved in touching/feeling. f the fingertips and lips are most involved in touching/feeling, then those areas will have the highest concentration of skin receptors. If the elbow and shoulders aren’t used much for sensation, then they will have a lower concentration of skin receptors. Data and Observations Record your caliper measurements in the table below.

receptor
Stimulation of a sensory receptor results in the transmission of an afferent impulse
along the axon of a sensory neuron. These axons end in the spinal cord. most
cases, the impulse will then travel through an interneuron within the spinal cord to
synapse with a motor neuron.

Question 14 of 190
FINAL - Science
The question is based on the following passage.
Although most animals and some plants detect and
respond to sound vibrations, the precise sensitivity that
we call hearing is rare in the living world. It is highly
developed only in birds and mammals, and the same
operational system applies in all vertebrate auditory
systems. Sound waves cause a liquid within the
organism's auditory apparatus to vibrate. These
vibrations are picked up by receptors that transmit
signals to nerve cells. These cells then communicate the
sound to the brain. Humans can hear vibrational
frequencies of 20 to 20,000 cycles per second; cats
respond to frequencies of up to 50,000 cycles per
second; and porpoises and bats pick up frequencies of
100,000 cycles per second.
Which statement does the passage support?
A. Cats and porpoises are adapted to hearing low
frequencies.
B. Some frequencies are beyond the human
hearing range.
C. Ears are damaged by high frequencies.
D. Humans…

1. How would you modify this experiment so that the mass lifted by the muscle contraction continues to increase for every trial?
2. A pin can be pressed against the skin lightly and elicit no response from the pain receptor. However, if the pin is jabbed into the finger, the pain receptor may be stimulated and the finger would quickly be withdrawn through a reflex arc.
Use what you know about threshold potential and the all-or-none principle to explain different levels of sensation (light touch or pain).

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the experiments performed by Roger Payne?
The fact that the owl failed to strike the mouse, but struck the leaf tied to it suggests that the owl
was using acoustic cues for target localization.
а.
b. They supported the conclusion that the owl used thermal detection to hunt because the owls
still struck a dummy target made of a leaf which was colder than the surrounding ground.
С.
The arena filled with sand had scattered leaves in it to mimic the owl's wild habitat.
d. Their results remained inconclusive as to whether the owls used their sense of smell because the
dummy target made of a leaf which the owls struck did not have any distinct smell.
Between a moving leaf on sand vs a moving mouse on sand, the owl would strike them both
equally as targets.

Like cameras for photography and videography, the temporal and spatial resolutions can be very important in human brain imaging. Which if the following is true regarding
temporal and spatial resolution for brain imaging methods?
O MEG & especially EEG have better spatial resolution (collect better location information) compared to FMRI and PET, and human brain imaging has generally good spatial
resolution compared to non-human methods.
MEG & especially EEG have better temporal resolution (collect at a higher rate in time) compared to FMRI and PET, and that first set of methods can be on par with non-
human methods in terms of quality of temporal resolution.

Provide a thorough anatomical description of how the nervous system transforms light energy in the environment into a neural signal that reaches the primary visual cortex (V1, do not go beyond V1). Define the concept of “receptive field” and describe how the receptive fields (or response properties) of the different types of neurons change as information is processed from the retina through primary (V1) visual cortex (be sure to write about retinal ganglion cells in your answer).

Using microelectrodes, a researcher recorded nerve signals in four neurons in the brain . The neurons are called A, B, C, and D in the table below. A, B, and C all can transmit signals to D. In three experiments, the animal was stimulated in different ways. The number of nerve signals transmitted per second by each of the cells is recorded in the table. Write a short paragraph explaining the different results of the three experiment. 09
