Question

1: Which of the following correctly matches the type of mechanoreceptor with the sensation it detects?

a)proprioceptors, which detect changes in pressure; baroreceptors, which monitor the positions of bones, joints, and muscles; and tactile receptors, which respond to the sense of touch

b) proprioceptors, which monitor the positions of bones, joints, and muscles; baroreceptors, which detect changes in pressure; and tactile receptors, which respond to the sense of touch

c) proprioceptors, which monitor the positions of bones, joints, and muscles; baroreceptors, which respond to the sense of touch; and tactile receptors, which detect changes in pressure

d) proprioceptors, which respond to the sense of touch; baroreceptors, which detect changes in pressure; and tactile receptors, which monitor the positions of bones, joints, and muscles

e) proprioceptors, which respond to the sense of touch; baroreceptors, which monitor the positions of bones, joints, and muscles; and tactile receptors, which detect changes in pressure

2: A decrease in activity at the level of the brain in response to a constant or long term stimulus.

a) receptor adaptation

b) central adaptation

c) cortical adaptation

d) lateral adaptation

e) peripheral adaptation

3: Match the neuron to the structures that they connect:

receptor to brainstem/spinal cord

      [ Choose ]            first-order neuron            second-order neuron            third-order neuron            lower motor neuron            upper motor neuron      

brainstem/spinal cord to thalamus

      [ Choose ]            first-order neuron            second-order neuron            third-order neuron            lower motor neuron            upper motor neuron      

thalamus to cerebral cortex

      [ Choose ]            first-order neuron            second-order neuron            third-order neuron            lower motor neuron            upper motor neuron
