- Q1Which of the following is NOT a type of sensory input?ChemicalElectromagneticNervousMechanical30s
- Q2Which organ(s) of the nervous system is responsible for making sense of the world around un?LungsStomachBrainMuscles30s
- Q3Smell and memories are closely tied together in the brain. How might having a cold affect your ability to smell?Your brain doesn't recognize the smell when you are illYour sensory receptors die when you are sick and regrow when you are betterYour sensory receptors become less sensitive when you are sickYour sensory receptors for smell are blocked by extra mucus30s
- Q4Which would be the correct path way to create a behavior?sensory receptor, neural response, brain, muscle, behavior, sensory energysensory receptor, neural response, memory, brain, muscle, behaviorsensory energy, sensory receptor, neural response, behavior, muscle, brainsensory energy, sensory receptor, neural response, brain, muscle, behavior30s
- Q5Sensory receptors (photoreceptors) in the eyes like rods and cones have a different structure than sensory receptors in the skin. The most reasonable explanations for the difference in the structure of these receptors is that...only the sensory receptors in the eye transmit signals directly to the brain.there are many more sensory receptors in the eye than receptors in the skin.receptors in the skin are connected to nerve cells, but receptors in the eye are not.receptors in the eye respond to a different type of input than receptors in the skin30s
- Q6Which type of sensory receptor would most likely tell your body to sweat?None of theseMechanoreceptorsThermoreceptorsNociceptors30s
- Q7Which type of sensory receptor would not allow you to feel pain?NocirecptorsThermoreceptorsChemoreceptorsMechanoreceptors30s
- Q8Animals like iguanas, salmon and cats use their sensory receptors to help them survive in the wild.TrueFalse30s
- Q9Which of the following is TRUE about sense receptors being processed by the brain?Only 1/4 of our sense receptors are able to be processed by the brain.All sense receptors are able to be processed by the brain.No sense receptors are able to be processed by the brain.Only half of our sense receptors are able to be processed by the brain.30s
- Q10Sensory information picked up by the ears isinterpreted as vibrations by the musclessent to the brain via nerve cellssent to the brain as an imagecarried to the brain through blood cells30s
