Question

You are cooking the family's Thanksgiving meal. Your sister walks into your home and remarks that the food smells delicious. You smile and wonder how you can hardly smell the food you are cooking unless you stick your nose close to it. This phenomenon is called: sensory transduction sensory adaptation sensory conduction sensory potentiation Now you sit down to the Thanksgiving meal and bite into the turkey. It tastes yummy! Before you actually perceive the taste of your food. taste receptors are first to create action potentials a receptor potential a head potential an end plate potential Once the sensory receptor is stimulated, impulses are transmitted to me sensory neuron via a chemical synapse, via a chemical synapse, which is turn stimulates the sensor neuron. This process is called: sensory reception sensory transduction sensory adaptation sensory transmission The sensory neutron carries impulses in the form of towards the local potentials, RNS receptor potentials; ANS action potentials; CNS synaptic potentials; interneuron

Explanation / Answer

49.b sensory adaptation

Sensory adaptation is defined as the diminished sensitivity to a stimulus as a consequence of constant exposure to that stimulus.Sensory adaptation involves a gradual decrease in sensory response caused by the repeated application of a particular stimulus over time.

50.a action potential

Sensory receptors are the structures in the body which change the stimulus from one form of energy to another.This can mean changing the presence of a chemical,sound wave,source of heat,or touch to the skin into an electrical action potential which can be understood by the brain,the body’s control center.

51.b sensory transduction

Taste is a form of chemoreception which occurs in the specialised taste receptors in the mouth.Each receptor has different manner of sensory transduction which is detecting the presence of a certain compound and starting an action potential which alerts the brain.

52.c action potential,CNS

Sensory neurons carry electrical signals which are called as nerve impulses or action potentials from receptors or sense organs to the CNS.
