- Log observations on the feeding behavior of the cockroach in Ta ble 1. Note of the sensory input &motor output corresponding with the behavior of feeding. Sensory input is anything perceived by the senses; the stimuli perceived by the organism like olfactory, visual, mechanoreception, gustatory, & hearing. Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input. It synthesizes sensory input to compute an appropriate motor response like leg extension etc.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about sensory systems is NOT true? a. Sensory transduction involves the conversion (by either a direct or indirect mechanism) of a physical or chemical stimulus into changes in membrane potential difference. b. Sensory adaptation plays a role in the ability of organisms to discriminate between important and unimportant information. c. The term "sensory adaptation" refers to the process by which a sensory cell becomes less sensitive, or less responsive, to a continuing source of stimulation. d. In general, a stimulus causes a change in the flow of charged ions across the plasma membrane of a sensory receptor cell. e. The more intense a stimulus is, the greater the peak depolarization of the action potentials fired by the sensory neuron.arrow_forwardName the part that helps in dark and light adaptations.arrow_forward
- Give examples of adaptations for hearing in animals that inhabitdifferent environments.arrow_forwardThe transmission of sensory information requires the input of free energy. For each sensory system (olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing, and touch), identify mechanisms for the input of free energy that allow the transmission of sensory information.arrow_forwardDifferentiate between light and dark adaptations.arrow_forward
- Select the statement that best describes how the nervous system encodes sensory input. a. Neural coding permits precise assessments of the absolute intensity of a stimulus. b. Neural circuits in sensory systems are always convergent. c. The neural representation of sensory input is an exact replica of the physical world. d. The neural representation of sensory input emphasizes some sensory qualities over others. e. Each neuron must be optimized to code both resolution and sensitivityarrow_forwardDescribe the functions of all sensory systems or the steps involved in detecting sensory stimuli.arrow_forwardList the four kinds of information obtained from sensory receptors, and describe how the nervous system encodes each type;arrow_forward
