Chapter 30, Problem 1SA
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The sensation is defined as the detection and interpretation of stimuli. Pain is the unpleasant and undesired sensation which may occur due to organ or tissue damage. There are various chemicals which are released by damaged tissue. These chemicals act as stimuli, and the stimuli of pain are dependent on duration, quality, location, and intensity.

Answer to Problem 1SA

Correct answer:

The pain of a stomachache is an example of visceral sensation. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Option b. is given as “visceral sensation.”

During stomachache, the sensory receptors present in the wall of the stomach receive the stimulation of pain, so the pain during the stomachache is classified as a visceral sensation

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as “somatic sensation.”

During somatic sensation, the receptors present in the skin receive the stimuli, but during the stomachache, the pain is in the internal organ. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as, “sensory adaptation.”

Sensory adaptation is the phenomena defined as a gradual decrease in the responsiveness of the sensory system as time passes. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as, “spinal reflex.”

A spinal reflex is a pathway associated with simple behavior of the central nervous system that lies inside the spinal cord. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Stomach ache occurs inside the organ, and the receptors present in the walls of the stomach receive the stimuli, so it is called visceral sensation. Thus, the correct option is b.

You have returned to college to become a phylogeneticist. One of the first things you wish to do is determine how mammals, birds, and reptiles are related. Like any good scientist, you need to consider all available data objectively and without a preconceived “correct” answer. In pursuit of that, you should produce a phylogenetic tree based only on morphological features that show birds and mammals are more closely related. You will then produce a totally different tree, also using morphological features, that shows birds and reptiles are more closely related. Do not forget to include all three groups in both your trees. Based solely off the trees you produce, which relationship would you consider the more likely and why? Once you have answered that question, provide a brief summary of the “modern” understanding of the relationship between these three groups.
true or false, the reason geckos can walk on walls is hydrogen bonding between their foot pads and the moisture on the wall.
Biology laboratory problem Please help. thank you You have 20 ul of DNA solution and 6X DNA loading buffer solution. You have to mix your DNA solution and DNA loading buffer before load DNA in an agarose gel. The concentration of the DNA loading buffer must be 1X in the DNA and DNA-loading buffer mixture after you mix them. For that, I will add _____ ul of 6X loading buffer to the 20 ul DNA solution.
