Question
Chapter 53.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The significance of the location of chemoreceptors and baroreceptors.
Introduction: The receptors present in the body organs serve a specific function. A single type of receptor can serve different functions in different parts of the body. This is because of limited types of the receptors present in the body.

Chemoreception in vertebrates and insects is mediated through clearly distinguishable senses of taste and smell. Contrast these two senses in humans in terms of anatomical location and nature of the receptors and sensitivity to chemical molecules. Describe chemore-ception in insects
The Baroreceptor reflex illustrates very well the principles and elements of a negative feedback loop.1) What is the typical circumstance in which the baroreceptor reflex is stimulated? What is the stimulus for the reflex and the response?2a) Using the terms for a homeostatic negative feedback loop or a reflex, describe both the function AND anatomical elements serving that function for each of the following as it applies to the baroreceptor reflex known as: an effector.
2b) applied to the baroreceptor reflex known as: the integration center?

- In an experiment, two hearts, heart 1 and heart 2, from frogs were removed and perfused with warm Ringer solution in both beakers 1 and 2. The vagus nerve of heart 1 was activated electrically (Figure 3). 1. Stimulate Vagus (i) Frog Heart 1 2.Remove fluid sample from beaker 1 Frog Heart 2 3. Add fluid to recipient heart 2 in beaker 2. Figure 3 The strength and number of beats of heart 1 before and after vagus nerve stimulation was recorded. What changes would you expect to observe? (ii) A sample of the Ringer solution was removed from beaker I and transferred to beaker 2. How would this affect the strength and number of beats of heart 2? (iii) The substance in the Ringer solution of beaker 1 was given a name 'vagusstoff' by Otto Loewi. What is ‘vagussoff"?arrow_forwardActivation of what receptor directly causes stimulation of the heart?

- Changes in blood pressure are detected by __________ in certain arteries. mechanoreceptors chemoreceptors proprioceptors nociceptors thermoreceptorsarrow_forwardCallisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers. 1. Broca's area 2. Right posterior cerebral artery 3. Autonomic nervous systemarrow_forwardImportant sensory receptors that monitor blood pressure are located inarteries in the chest above the heart and in arteries in the head. WhenSarah does a headstand, gravity causes the blood in her arteries to flowtoward her head, and the blood pressure in the arteries of her chest andhead increases. When Sarah crouches for a short time and then standsup rapidly, gravity causes the blood in her arteries to flow away from herneck and head and toward her feet, and the blood pressure in the arteriesof her chest and head decreases. How do the sympathetic reflexes thatcontrol blood vessels respond when Sarah does a headstand, and howdo the sympathetic reflexes that control blood vessels respond if Sarahsuddenly stands up after crouching for a short time?arrow_forward
