Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Question 4 options:
A)
Stimulation by intense light will cause the eye to perceive pressure
B)
A given touch receptor may be sensitive to mechanical pressure, stretch, and vibration, but not to light energy such as wavelengths of light
C)
If enough pressure is applied to the eye, visual receptors respond accordingly
D)
A given touch receptor may be able to perceive a wide range of stimuli, such as light pressure, pain, and heavy pressure
A)
Stimulation by intense light will cause the eye to perceive pressure
B)
A given touch receptor may be sensitive to mechanical pressure, stretch, and vibration, but not to light energy such as wavelengths of light
C)
If enough pressure is applied to the eye, visual receptors respond accordingly
D)
A given touch receptor may be able to perceive a wide range of stimuli, such as light pressure, pain, and heavy pressure
Explanation / Answer
Let's cosider each option separately.
A) Actual fact: Stimulation by intense pressure will cause the eye to perceive light as light perception. So this option is wrong.
B) Actual fact: A given touch receptor may be sensitive to mechanical pressure, stretch, and vibration, but not to light energy such as wavelengths of light. So this is correct.
C) Actual fact: When pressure is applied to eye, the pressure generates electrical potential that is read as light stimuli by neurons. Here, the light receptor doesnot play any role, as it can only receive light stimuli. So this option is also incorrect.
D) Actual fact: Mechanoreceptor perceive mild and normal pressure, while Nociceptors perceive heavy pressure. So this is also incorrect.
ANSWER: Option B) A given touch receptor may be sensitive to mechanical pressure, stretch, and vibration, but not to light energy such as wavelengths of light.
