Chapter 15, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

A sensory receptor has an ability to convert the environmental signal (stimuli) to a nerve impulse. This is known as the sensory transduction. The sensory receptors are capable of detecting the stimuli that is originated from the internal as well as the external environment

Answer to Problem 1A

Correct answer:

The receptors that detect stimuli within the body are called as the interoceptors. Therefore, option (a)is correct

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Interoceptors are the sensory receptors that receive stimulus from inside the body like the pressoreceptors or baroreceptors. These receptors respond to the changing blood pressure, chemoreceptors, which monitors the blood pH and osmoreceptors, which monitors the water-salt balance of the body

Option (a)is given as “interoceptors”

“The receptors that detect stimuli within the body are called as the interoceptors”, it is the right answer

Hence, option (a)is correct

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (b) is given as “exteroceptors”.
These receptors detects stimulus from outside the body. So, it is a wrong answer

Option (c) is given as “homeoreceptors”.
These receptors detect similar type of stimulus. So, it is a wrong answer

Option (d) is given as “reflex receptors”.
These receptors detect the reflex stimulus. So, it is a wrong answer

Hence, options (b), (c),and (d)are incorrect

Conclusion

The receptors that detect stimuli within the body are called as the interoceptors

When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.
