In terms of receptor density describe why it is difficult to find the same location on the forearm when your eyes are closed?

There are not many nerve endings in the forearm therefore it is harder to locate the same spot again when your eyes are closed. Receptors are nerve endings that react to stimuli and changes.

What is the importance of Receptor-mediated Endocytosis in the genetic disorder Familial Hyper-Cholesterolemia?
In mammalian cells, the LDL (low density lipoprotein) receptor transports cholesterol into the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The cholesterol is then used by the cell for various metabolic functions and the receptor is recycled to the plasma membrane.In patients suffering from Familial Hypercholesterolemia, the genes encoding the LDL receptor are mutated, as a result of which cholesterol is unable to bind to the LDL receptor. This leads to accumulation of cholesterol in the circulation, hence causing disease. Patients suffering from this disease are treated using drugs called Statins, which inhibit an important enzyme involved in cholesterol biosynthesis.
Is earthquake-related tsunami a density dependent factor or density independent factor?
density independent factor
The Temperature at which water possesses maximum density is?

What term best describes the number of individuals of a given species per unit area?

What is center of gravity of a body?
The center of gravity is the theoretical point where all the body weight is concentrated or the theoretical point about which the body weight is evenly distributed. If a body is of uniform density and has a symmetrical shape the center of gravity is in the geometric center. If the object is not symmetrical and does not have uniform density, it is more difficult to describe the location of its center of gravity.
Which of these is not used to describe a population?
Its Density !
What does the map of the sensory cortex reveal about the density of touch receptor?
The map of the sensory cortex reveal about the density of touch receptor a larger area of the cortex is devoted to analysis of cutaneous sensations arising from hands, lips and tongue than other areas. The motor cortex is located on the post central gyrus.

lithosphere is created at the location of 3,000ft. in density.
Why people have a different taste threshold from someone else?
why people have a different taste threshold from someone else or even have different density of receptors whithin our body? The receptor density is different. I think it's due to genetics bumping into environmental history. For example, I'd bet that flame swallowers have a reduced receptor density. Some people can taste X while others can't, and often the difference is due to genetics.
Volume and density describe what part of an object?
Mass
What is the word used to describe how thick an oil is?
density
What are the 3 problems of irregular solid?
its volume can only be messured by displacement. it is difficult to equaly devide. it can be difficult to determine density if you are trying to determine the density of the material, not the object.
