Question 13

Mechanoreceptors

Answer 13

specialized nerve cells that respond to touch, pressure, sound, movement, and stretch

Question 14

Proprioceptors

Answer 14

internal mechanoreceptors that provide info about muscle position, contraction, movement & leg position in space

Question 15

Cockroach mechanoreceptors

Setae

Answer 15

short hairs

Question 16

Cockroach mechanoreceptors

Hair plates

Answer 16

bend adjoining surfaces of the cuticle contact each other in movement

Question 17

Cockroaches Mechanoreceptors

Campaniform sensilla

Answer 17

dome-like structures which are distorted with the movement of the spines that protrude from the surface of the sensilla, or with the movement of the leg

Question 18

Cockroaches mechanoreceptors

Chordotonal organs

Answer 18

structures under the cuticle which change in length when the joint of that organ is extended or flexed

Question 19

Stretch receptors

Answer 19

used to detect the position of the leg as the roach moves

Question 20

Firing rate

Answer 20

(action potentials/second) used within the CNS to monitor leg position

Question 21

High firing rate =

Answer 21

Large leg movement

Question 22

Low firing rate =

Answer 22

Small leg movement

Question 23

Sensory receptor adaptaion

Answer 23

if stimulus is prolonged in duration, the sensory receptor firing rate will decline over time

Question 24

Parts of the cockroach | Coxa

Answer 24

upper portion of the leg

Question 25

Parts of the cockroach | Trochanter

Answer 25

Knee

Question 26

Parts of the cockroach | Femur

Answer 26

thigh

Question 27

Parts of the cockroach | Tibia

Answer 27

shin

Question 28

Parts of the cockroach | tarsus

Answer 28

ankle & foot

Question 29

Types of sensory receptor adaptation | Phasic

Answer 29

firing rate ceases, or is greatly reduced when movement of the receptor stops, even though a new position is maintained

Question 30

Types of sensory reception adaptation | Tonic

Answer 30

action potentials continue for as long as the stimulus is maintained, slowly decreasing over time

Question 31

Types of sensory receptor adaptation | Phasictonic

Answer 31

initial response to a stimulus is a burst of action potentials, which is immediately followed by a large drop in firing rate
