What is a decreased sensitivity that occurs when a stimulus is continuously applied to sensory receptors called?
It all depends on the sensory receptors affected by continuous stimulus applied. It can cause complete damage to the receptors and or prevent them from receiving the correct signals.
What is punctuate distribution?
The uneven clustering of receptors in order to provide sensitivity to body areas that need it most.
Why do lunar moths have leaf like antennas?
A larger surface area gives greater sensitivity to chemical receptors.
What are the general senses?
General senses are the receptors that are sensitive to pain, temperature, and physical distortion
Factors that effect reaction time?
The sensitivity of the receptors, velocity of nerve conduction, and the number of neurons and synapses involved to name a few.
What is the mechanism of action of haldol on dopamine?
it blocks D2 receptors to inhibit the production of dopamine.
Why are histamine antagonists recommended for heart burn?
Histamine receptors in the stomach control acid production, and blocking them reduces acidity. The H2 receptors in the stomach are treated with different agents than the H1 receptors in the brain, there is little overlap.
Does the nerve cell give us sensitivity?
In part, yes. The nerve cell is what ensures the message of an external or internal stimulus gets to the brain so we are consiously aware of that stimulus. However, in order for a nerve cell to get the message, it must receive an input from a receptor. As such, the receptors at the end of a nerve cell are the most directly responsible for our sensitivity. Some examples of the receptors are: - nociceptors - mechanoreceptors (meissners corpuscles, etc.) - prorioreceptors (muscle spindles) - chemoreceptors (taste buds)
How does chlorine bleach affect the endocrine system?
Chlorine can bind with the same receptors as iodine, blocking the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland.
How is estrogen formed?
estrogen is formed by the granulosa cells of the follicle. Theca interna cells contain leutinizing hormone receptors that convert LH into testosterone. Granulosa cells contain testosterone receptors that convert testosterone to estrogen. These are the basic steps for the production of estrogen.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
What receptors do not undergo adaptation?
Tonic receptors have little to no adaptation while phasic receptors adapt fast!
