Summary Introduction

To label: The sensory receptor that receives stimuli from the environment and also list the responses they show in respect to stimuli.

Concept introduction:

Sensory receptors are the structures that send stimuli to brain after receiving it in response to changes in the environment. They convey the signal to neurons from the external or internal body. Sensory receptors are present on sensory organs, namely, eyes, skin, and ear.

Explanation of Solution

Pictorial representation:

Fig.1 shows the types of sensory receptors present in humans and responses they generate.

Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections, Chapter 29, Problem 1CC

Fig.1: Shows the type of sensory receptors and their responses.

(a)

Correct answer: Mechanoreceptor.

Plasma membrane contains a mechanogated ion channel that opens or closes in response to the stimuli. When there is a pressure applied on the membrane by stretching or twisting, the channels get activated. For example, the tympanic wall present in the ear has a mechanogated ion channel, and it helps in hearing by transmission of sound vibration. Hence, the correct answer is mechanoreceptors.

(b)

Correct answer: Chemoreceptor.

Chemoreceptors have an autonomic control, and they get stimulated by the change in the chemical concentration in the environment. Generally, they are found in the nose and mouth. Hence, the correct answer is chemoreceptors.

(c)

Correct answer: Light.

Electromagnetic receptors involve photoreceptor and thermoreceptor. Photoreceptors covert light into an electromagnetic stimulus and send it to the brain for phototransduction. Hence, the correct answer is light.

(d)

Correct answer: Electricity.

Some organisms have the ability to detect electrical energy; their electroreceptors receive the stimulus and send it to the brain for detection. For example, sharks can detect electricity that is generated by any muscular activity. Hence, the correct answer is electricity.

(e)

Correct answer: Magnetism.

Electromagnetic receptors sense the magnetic field in the environment. Birds use the magnetic field of the Earth in navigation when they migrate. Hence, the correct answer is magnetism.

(f)

Correct answer: Hair cells.

Hair cells have mechanoreceptors that generate an electrical stimulus upon stretching or when the cell feels any pressure; for example, hair cells present in the ear have receptors that detect head movement and sound. Hence, the correct answer is hair cells.

(g)

Correct answer: Photoreceptor.

Photoreceptors are present in the retina of the eye and receive the stimulus from light. Photoreceptors convert light into electric signal and send it to the brain for visual transduction. Hence, the correct answer is photoreceptor.

1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip    MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate. SHOW ALL WORK, including equation used, variables used and each step to your solution.
2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0  Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present.  Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…
