$CO _{2}$, $pH$ and $O _{2}$ level in the blood is detected by which receptors?
-
Baroreceptors
-
Chemoreceptors
-
Sensoryreceptors
-
Baroreceptors and Chemoreceptors
Which of the following detect mechanical energy associated with, changes in pressure, position, or acceleration?
-
Chemoreceptors
-
Photoreceptors
-
Mechanoreceptors
-
Thermoreceptors
(A)Chemoreceptor - Receptor that responds to chemicals.
What is otorhinolaryngology?
-
Care of ear
-
Study of larynx
-
Study of ear and larynx
-
Study of diseases of the ear, nose and throat
- Otorhinolaryngology is a surgical subspecialty within medicine that deals with the conditions of the ear, nose and throat (ENT) and related structures of the head and neck. It is also called as otolaryngology. Otorhinolaryngologist treats the disease of the ear, nose, throat, base of the skull and for the surgical management of cancers and benign tumours of the head and neck. Hence, otorhinolaryngology is the study of disease of the ear, nose and throat.
- So, the correct answer is 'study of disease of the ear, nose and throat'.
Which of the following contains mechanoreceptors ?
-
Human skin
-
Lateral line of fishes
-
Statocysts of arthropods
-
All of these
Mechanoreceptor - Receptor that responds to pressure,touch, position, acceleration.
Which of the following have taste buds?
-
Palate
-
Mucous lining
-
Tongue
-
None of the above
Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Taste buds have very sensitive microscopic hairs called microvilli. Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes, whether if it is sweet, sour, bitter, or salty.
The stato-acoustic receptor responds to changes in the ..................
-
Light and pressure
-
Pressure and touch
-
Pain and pressure
-
Sound and equilibrium.
Statio-acoustic receptors are meant for both sensory functions, i.e., hearing (sound) and maintenance of body balance (equilibrium) of the body. These receptors generate stimuli in response to sound and gravity. The function of stato-acoustic receptor is hearing and balancing.
The following respond to pressure
-
Meissner's corpuscle
-
Pacinian corpuscle
-
Bulbs of Krause
-
None of the above
There are the different type of stimulus receptors they are mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, thermoreceptors, photoreceptors, and electroreceptors. Here, the pressure is a type of mechanoreceptors. Pacinian corpuscle commonly found in deeper tissues of the tendons and ligaments which senses deep pressure. Meissner's corpuscle senses light touch and motion. Bulbs of Krause senses cold and low-frequency vibration.
Which of the following receptor classifications could be considered enteroreceptors?
-
Chemoreceptors
-
Photoreceptors
-
Visceroreceptors
-
Both (a) and (c)
- Enteroceptor - any receptor that responds to stimuli inside the body.
- Chemoreceptors: consists of aortic and carotid bodies. Aortic body detects changes in blood oxygen and carbon dioxide, but not pH, while carotid body detects all three.
- visceroreceptors group of receptors that includes those located in visceral organs. Their stimulation gives rise to poorly localized and ill-defined sensations or to pain. In hollow visceral organs, they are stimulated principally by excessive contraction or by distention.
Which of the following are chemoreceptors?
-
Taste receptors
-
Olfactory receptors
-
Auditory receptors
-
Both (a) and (b)
Chemoreceptors are the receptors that respond to chemicals. Both taste and smell are related to chemical receptors. Therefore, they are chemoreceptors.
The following detects infrared energy (heat)
-
chemoreceptors
-
photoreceptors
-
mechanoreceptors
-
thermoreceptors
(A)Chemoreceptor - Receptor that responds to chemicals.
