Question
Chapter 14, Problem 11RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The encapsulated nerve endings.
Introduction:
The sensory receptors innervate various somatic and visceral organs to sense temperature, pain, vibration, pressure, and stretch. They can be structurally classified into free nerve endings and encapsulated nerve endings. The free nerve ending is not an encapsulated structure and is the dendrite belonging to a sensory neuron.

Among vertebrates, acoustico-lateralis hair cells are used todetect water currents in lateral line organs of fish, gravity andacceleration in the labyrinth, and sound in the cochlea. How cansimilar receptor cells mediate all these responses?

The human retina has three types of receptor cones, eachsensitive to a different range of wavelengths of visible light,as shown in this figure (the colors are merely to differentiatethe three curves from one another; they do not indicate theactual colors represented by each curve):(a) Estimate the energies of photons with wavelengths at themaximum for each type of cone. (b) The color of the sky is dueto scattering of solar light by the molecules of the atmosphere.Lord Rayleigh was one of the first to study scattering of thiskind. He showed that the amount of scattering for very smallparticles such as molecules is inversely proportional to thefourth power of the wavelength. Estimate the ratio of the scatteringefficiency of light at the wavelength of the maximumfor the “blue” cones, as compared with that for the “green”cones. (c) Explain why the sky appears blue even though allwavelengths of solar light are scattered by the atmosphere

The pupillary light reflex involves sensory input through the optic nerve and motor response through the oculomotor nerve to the ciliary ganglion, which projects to the circular fibers of the iris.
