B)is carried by large nerve fibers.
C)can cause agony long after an injury has healed or with terminal illness when a reminder is useless.
D)is characterized by all of these.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The body's reminding system
A)involves sharp, fast pain...

Question 2

The warning and reminding systems are the two types of systems that indicate _____ pain.
A)somatic
B)kinesthetic
C)transitional
D)vestibular

Accepted Answer

The warning and reminding systems are part of the somatic pain system. Somatic pain arises from the skin, muscles, bones, and connective tissues. The warning system alerts the body to potential danger or tissue damage, while the reminding system helps maintain awareness of ongoing tissue damage. Kinesthetic pain arises from the joints and tendons, transitional pain arises from the organs, and vestibular pain arises from the inner ear.

Question 3

Vestibular senses are important in
A)balance.
B)audition.
C)touch.
D)vision.

Accepted Answer

Vestibular senses are important for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. They provide information about the position and movement of the head and body, and help us to stay upright and oriented in the environment.

Question 6

Most skilled performances rely on _____, which combines sensations from skin receptors with kinesthetic information from the muscles and tendons.
A)dynamic inertia
B)dynamic touch
C)somatic agnosia
D)vicarious sensationality

Accepted Answer

Dynamic touch is the process of combining sensations from skin receptors with kinesthetic information from the muscles and tendons. This integration allows for skilled performances, such as playing a musical instrument or typing on a keyboard, to be executed with precision and accuracy. Dynamic inertia refers to the resistance to change in motion, somatic agnosia is a disorder of body awareness, and vicarious sensationality is not a recognized term in psychology or neuroscience.

Question 7

Pain from the skin, muscles, joints, and tendons is known as _____ pain.
A)somatic
B)kinesthetic
C)visceral
D)vestibular

Accepted Answer

Somatic pain refers to pain originating from the skin, muscles, joints, and tendons. Kinesthetic refers to the perception of body movement and position. Visceral pain refers to pain originating from organs and internal tissues. Vestibular pain refers to pain originating from the inner ear.

Question 8

Pain carried by large nerve fibers is sharp, bright, fast, and appears to come from specific body areas.This is the body's _____ system.
A)reminding
B)warning
C)kinesthetic
D)vestibular

Accepted Answer

The characteristics described are indicative of the warning system of pain, which is carried by large nerve fibers and serves to alert the body to potential danger or injury. The other options (A, C, D) are not applicable to this description of pain sensation.

Question 9

Which of the following best exemplifies dynamic touch?
A)a juggler missing the balls.
B)a carpenter missing a nail.
C)a new artist trying to paint.
D)a football quarterback throwing a completed pass.

Accepted Answer

Dynamic touch refers to the ability to control force and movement while interacting with an object. A football quarterback throwing a completed pass requires the precise control of force and movement to deliver the ball accurately to the intended receiver, making it the best example of dynamic touch. The other options do not necessarily involve the same level of dynamic touch as they may be more static or involve less precision in force and movement control.

Question 10

Somatic pain is carried by large nerve fibers in the _____ system and by small nerve fibers in the _____ system.
A)fight; flight
B)warning; reminding
C)kinesthetic; vestibular
D)sympathetic; parasympathetic

Accepted Answer

Somatic pain is typically carried by large nerve fibers in the warning system, which is responsible for transmitting sharp, acute pain, and by small nerve fibers in the reminding system, which transmits dull, chronic pain.

Question 11

The body's warning system
A)signals that the body has been, or is about to be damaged.
B)is carried by small nerve fibers.
C)involves pain that is nagging, widespread, and extremely unpleasant.
D)involves all of these characteristics.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The body's warning system
A)signals that the body...

Question 12

The two types of somatic pain include the body's _____ systems.
A)fight and flight
B)warning and reminding
C)kinesthetic and vestibular
D)sympathetic and parasympathetic

Accepted Answer

Somatic pain is often categorized into "warning" pain, which is sharp and immediate, and "reminding" pain, which is dull and persistent, indicating ongoing tissue damage.

Question 13

Weightlessness and space flight tend to affect the _____ system, often causing severe motion sickness.
A)gustatory
B)olfactory
C)kinesthetic
D)vestibular

Accepted Answer

Weightlessness and space flight affect the vestibular system, which is responsible for our sense of balance and spatial orientation. This can cause motion sickness, as the brain receives conflicting signals from the eyes, inner ear, and body.

Question 14

The pain carried by small nerve fibers are slower, nagging, aching, widespread and extremely unpleasant.This is the body's _____ system.
A)reminding
B)warning
C)kinesthetic
D)vestibular

Accepted Answer

The answer of The pain carried by small nerve fibers...

Question 15

_____ is a reliable source of information which makes it possible for us to use a wide range of tools, utensils, and objects as if they were extensions of our bodies.
A)Dynamic touch
B)The vestibular system
C)The umami sensation
D)Vicarious mobility

Accepted Answer

Dynamic touch is a type of haptic feedback that allows us to sense the texture, shape, and movement of objects we touch. This sense is crucial in allowing us to use tools and utensils as extensions of our bodies, as we can feel the pressure, weight, and movement of the objects we manipulate. The other options, the vestibular system, umami sensation, and vicarious mobility, do not play a direct role in our ability to use tools and utensils.

Question 16

It is hard for people with _____ to have empathy for the pain of others.
A)warning pain syndrome
B)a somesthetic sense
C)congenital pain insensitivity
D)a masochism disorder

Accepted Answer

Congenital pain insensitivity is a rare genetic condition in which a person is unable to feel physical pain. This lack of ability to experience pain can make it difficult for individuals with congenital pain insensitivity to empathize with the pain of others.

Question 17

The receptors in the inner ear for balance, gravity, and acceleration are part of the _____ sense.
A)gustatory
B)olfactory
C)kinesthetic
D)vestibular

Accepted Answer

The receptors in the inner ear that are responsible for balance, gravity, and acceleration are called the vestibular receptors. Therefore, the correct answer is D) vestibular sense.

Question 18

Jessie has a nagging backache after a day spent raking leaves.This nagging pain
A)involves the body's reminding system for pain.
B)is carried by small nerve fibers.
C)may cause agony long after this injury has healed.
D)involves all of these characteristics.

Accepted Answer

The nagging backache after raking leaves involves the body's reminding system for pain, which is carried by small nerve fibers. This type of pain may also cause agony long after the injury or activity that caused it has healed. Therefore, all of these characteristics apply to Jessie's nagging backache.

Question 19

Regarding pain, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A)Stimulation of the pain fibers in the internal organs causes visceral pain.
B)Visceral pain is often felt on the surface of the body, at a site some distance from the point of origin.
C)When visceral pain is felt at a distance from the point of origin, it is called transitional pain.
D)A person having a heart attack may feel pain in the left shoulder, the arm, or even the little finger.

Accepted Answer

The correct term for pain felt at a distance from the point of origin is "referred pain," not "transitional pain."

Question 20

According to Turvey, most bodily motions form an arc or a combination of arcs.Dynamic _____ is largely a matter of sensing the inertia of objects as they move through these arcs.
A)existentialism
B)touch
C)somesthetic potential
D)mobility

Accepted Answer

Dynamic touch refers to the ability to perceive the properties of objects, such as their weight and inertia, through motion, particularly as they move through arcs.
