Question 1

Accepted Answer

A)  baroreceptors
B)  chemoreceptors
C)  nociceptors
D)  thermoreceptors
E)  propioceptorsF) C) and D)
G) B) and D)

Question 2

What sequence of events leads to the perception of a visual scene?
 I.In response to light,retinal dissociates from rod and cone photopigments,hyperpolarizing the photoreceptor cells and leading to activation of bipolar neurons.
II) Action potentials are propagated through ganglion cells,whose axons project to the occipital lobe of the brain.
III) In response to light,rod and cone photoreceptors depolarize,causing increased release of neurotransmitter and activation of bipolar neurons.
