- Taste buds are sensory receptors for taste located on the tongue. When a person eats a spicy food, receptors on the tongue pick up a stimulus. The stimulus initiates the movement of ions across the membrane. If the threshold level is reached, an action potential is generated and a signal is sent to the brain telling the brain that the food is spicy. The reason that some individuals have a higher tolerance to spicy food than others is due to a difference in the a. duration of the refractory period b. number of Na+/K+ ion exchange pumps c. strength of the stimulus d. threshold levelarrow_forwardInfants have a reflex called sucking reflex.

- A specific pattern of activation is observed in the right hemisphere piriform cortex in response to a specific smell. Which of the following choices must be true? Group of answer choices a - The pattern of activation across the glomeruli in the left olfactory bulb mirrors the pattern of activation observed in the right hemisphere piriform cortex. b - The activity in the right hemisphere piriform cortex was independent of the number of odorant molecules that entered the olfactory epithelium. c - The odorant molecules that made up the smell were of different shapes and therefore activated different receptors in the right nostril, creating a unique pattern that is conserved first across the olfactory bulb, then along the olfactory tract, then within the thalamus, and then finally in the right hemisphere piriform cortex. d - The activity in the right hemisphere piriform was initiated by the binding of odorant molecules to G-protein coupled receptors in the right nostril.arrow_forwardHow might you position and manipulate a few objects in a lab to test whether an animal can use a cognitive map to remember the location of a food source?arrow_forwardAn involuntary bending of the fingers of newborn in response to solid stimulation on the palm, is called; Select one: a.
