Question

Phasic receptors

are quick to adapt to a particular stimulus intensity.

slowly decrease the frequency of action potentials generated to a constant stimulus.

are attune to parameters that the body must continuously assess.

once threshold is reached by a stimulus will always generate action potentials

change their sensitivity in phases going from slow to fast

The area monitored by a single receptor is called

Neural area

Receptor field

Receptive field

Receptor specificity

Receptor modality

The specific receptors responsible for rotation found in the semicircular canals is called

Ampulla

Vestibule

Auricle

Saccule

Crista

The papillae that is not responsible for any taste is called

Fungiform

Foliate

Filiform

Circumvallate

They are all associated with taste buds

The area in your eye which is used for “fine focusing” the light that travels into the posterior cavity of your eye giving you a “crisp” “sharp” image is known as

Optic disc

Retina

Fovea

Lens

Choroid

A decrease in ones perception of a stimulus whose intensity has not changed due to higher neural inhibition is

habituation.

convergence.

divergence.

Adaptation

Illusion

Explanation / Answer

1. Option A is correct.

Phasic receptors respond with a burst of activity when a stimulus is first applied and then quickly decrease their firing rate.

2. Option C is correct.

The area monitored by a single receptor is called Receptive field.

3. Option E is correct.

Crista ampullaris are the receptors responsible for detecting angular acceleration.

4. Option C is correct.

Filiform papillae are not associated with any taste.

5. Option D is correct.

The lens is used to focus light rays on the retina.

6. Option A is correct.

A decrease in one's perception of a stimulus whose intensity has not changed due to higher neural inhibition is known as habituation.
