Which of the following receptors is most likely to exhibit tonic adaptation? olfactory
nociceptors thermoreceptors pacinian gustatory True or False - Otoliths can only detect
rotational acceleration, they cannot provide information about the relative position of the head in
space True False Which membrane is responsible for our ability to detect pitch due to its
structure of being narrow and stiff on one end and wide and flexible on the other? basilar
membrane tympanic membrane tutorial membrane vestibular membrane The Insane Clown
Posse Why do humans begin needing reading glasses around the age of 45? the zonular fibers
attached to the lens lose their elasticity and can no longer flatten the lens as needed cone cells
within the fovea begin dying off and cannot be replaced the lens becomes inflexible and can no
longer get as spherical as needed to focus on nearby objects the lens becomes cloudy and no
longer allows the proper amount of light through it parents just really want to embarrass their
kids when they are ordering food in a public restaurant A person born with a mutation which
prevented their body from making retinal would likely experience which of the following? they
would suffer from myopia and only be able to see objects that were very to them they would not
be able to transition from bright rooms to dark rooms as well as person with functional retinal
would be able to they would have enhanced night vision because their retina would be unable to
absorb excess light their photoreceptors would respond as if there were in constant bright light
their photoreceptors would respond as if they were in constant darkness
Solution
16. Tonic receptors adapt slowly to a stimulus and continue to produce action potentials over the
duration of the stimulus. In this way it conveys information about the duration of the stimulus.
In contrast, phasic receptors adapt rapidly to a stimulus. The response of the cell diminishes very
quickly and then stops. It does not provide information on the duration of the stimulus.
An example of a tonic receptor is pain receptor. Therefore option (b) nociceptors is most likely
to exhibit tonic adaptation. Once it gets stimulated, it sends a signal along the nerves to the brain
as long as the pain stimulus continues.
Odor, touch, temperature, taste all are examples of phasic receptors. Pacinian corpuscles are
sensitive to vibration and pressure and an example of phasic receptors.
17. The Vestibular system is the sensory system in mammals that provides the contribution to the
sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of balance and coordinated movement.
The "Otolithic organs" in the human ear are the utricle and saccule.
The Otolith organs sense gravity and linear acceleration such as from due to initiation of
movement in a straight line. Persons or animals without otolith organs or defective otoliths have
poorer abilities to sense motion as well as orientation to gravity.
The Otolith membrane serves to determine if the body or the head is tilted, in addition to the
linear acceleration of the body.
Therefore the option is b i.e. False.
18. Pitch is our perceptual perception of frequency.
Option a is the correct answer as basiliar membrane helps in detection of pitch of sound due to its
peculiar structure. It is moved by incoming sound waves and is essential for the sense of hearing.
Hair cells (mechanoceptors) are present on the surface of basiliar membrane.
Pitch discrimination results from the fact that the basilar membrane has different vibrational
properties along its length, such that the base vibrates most strongly to high frequency sounds
and the tip to low frequencies.
The ear (auditory) canal directs the sound to the delicate eardrum (tympanic membrane), the
boundary between external and middle ear.
Tectorial membrane is present in the cochlea of the inner ear.
Vestibular membrane separates cochlear duct from vestibular canal.
19. Option c is the correct answer. This condition, Presbyopia usually arises around age 40, when
people experience blurred near vision while reading, sewing or working at the computer. This
condition arises due to thickening and loss of flexibility of natural lens inside the eyes.
20. Option d is correct answer as mutation in retina leads to the death of photoreceptor rod cells
which function in dim light. Therefore photoreceptor would respond as if they were in constant
bright light.

  • 1. Which of the following receptors is most likely to exhibit tonic adaptation? olfactory nociceptors thermoreceptors pacinian gustatory True or False - Otoliths can only detect rotational acceleration, they cannot provide information about the relative position of the head in space True False Which membrane is responsible for our ability to detect pitch due to its structure of being narrow and stiff on one end and wide and flexible on the other? basilar membrane tympanic membrane tutorial membrane vestibular membrane The Insane Clown Posse Why do humans begin needing reading glasses around the age of 45? the zonular fibers attached to the lens lose their elasticity and can no longer flatten the lens as needed cone cells within the fovea begin dying off and cannot be replaced the lens becomes inflexible and can no longer get as spherical as needed to focus on nearby objects the lens becomes cloudy and no longer allows the proper amount of light through it parents just really want to embarrass their kids when they are ordering food in a public restaurant A person born with a mutation which prevented their body from making retinal would likely experience which of the following? they would suffer from myopia and only be able to see objects that were very to them they would not be able to transition from bright rooms to dark rooms as well as person with functional retinal would be able to they would have enhanced night vision because their retina would be unable to absorb excess light their photoreceptors would respond as if there were in constant bright light their photoreceptors would respond as if they were in constant darkness Solution 16. Tonic receptors adapt slowly to a stimulus and continue to produce action potentials over the duration of the stimulus. In this way it conveys information about the duration of the stimulus. In contrast, phasic receptors adapt rapidly to a stimulus. The response of the cell diminishes very quickly and then stops. It does not provide information on the duration of the stimulus. An example of a tonic receptor is pain receptor. Therefore option (b) nociceptors is most likely to exhibit tonic adaptation. Once it gets stimulated, it sends a signal along the nerves to the brain as long as the pain stimulus continues. Odor, touch, temperature, taste all are examples of phasic receptors. Pacinian corpuscles are sensitive to vibration and pressure and an example of phasic receptors. 17. The Vestibular system is the sensory system in mammals that provides the contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of balance and coordinated movement. The "Otolithic organs" in the human ear are the utricle and saccule. The Otolith organs sense gravity and linear acceleration such as from due to initiation of movement in a straight line. Persons or animals without otolith organs or defective otoliths have poorer abilities to sense motion as well as orientation to gravity.
  • 2. The Otolith membrane serves to determine if the body or the head is tilted, in addition to the linear acceleration of the body. Therefore the option is b i.e. False. 18. Pitch is our perceptual perception of frequency. Option a is the correct answer as basiliar membrane helps in detection of pitch of sound due to its peculiar structure. It is moved by incoming sound waves and is essential for the sense of hearing. Hair cells (mechanoceptors) are present on the surface of basiliar membrane. Pitch discrimination results from the fact that the basilar membrane has different vibrational properties along its length, such that the base vibrates most strongly to high frequency sounds and the tip to low frequencies. The ear (auditory) canal directs the sound to the delicate eardrum (tympanic membrane), the boundary between external and middle ear. Tectorial membrane is present in the cochlea of the inner ear. Vestibular membrane separates cochlear duct from vestibular canal. 19. Option c is the correct answer. This condition, Presbyopia usually arises around age 40, when people experience blurred near vision while reading, sewing or working at the computer. This condition arises due to thickening and loss of flexibility of natural lens inside the eyes. 20. Option d is correct answer as mutation in retina leads to the death of photoreceptor rod cells which function in dim light. Therefore photoreceptor would respond as if they were in constant bright light.
