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

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
