Question 1

Which of the following is considered one of the skin senses?

Accepted Answer

Pressure is one of the skin senses, which includes touch, temperature, and pain. The other options listed are related to the senses of balance and proprioception, which involve the inner ear and muscle/joint receptors, respectively.

Question 2

Which of the following is NOT a skin sensation?

Accepted Answer

Balance is not a skin sensation, it is a sense related to the inner ear and vestibular system.

Question 3

When Patricia instructs her students on the various body positions and smooth movements involved in yoga,her students will be activating receptors in their muscles and joints that are part of which sense?

Accepted Answer

The sense of kinesthesia refers to the ability to sense and perceive the position and movement of different parts of the body, as well as the effort required to move them. In yoga, practitioners are often instructed on specific body positions and movements which activate the receptors in the muscles and joints, leading to a heightened sense of kinesthetic awareness.

Question 4

Kinesthetic sensation results from

Accepted Answer

Kinesthetic sensation is the sense of awareness of the position and movement of body parts. This sense is detected by the receptors in the muscles and joints that detect movement, making choice D the best option. Receptors in the inner ear (choice A) detect balance, while receptors in the skin (choice B) detect touch and temperature. Mechanical distortion of the semi-circular canals (choice C) also plays a role in balance detection, but not in kinesthetic sensation specifically.

Question 5

Regarding the sense of touch,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

This statement is false. The skin actually has more nerve endings for touch and pressure than for temperature or pain.

Question 6

Sweet and bitter tastes appear to be

Accepted Answer

Sweet and bitter tastes are based on a lock-and-key match between molecules and the receptors on the taste buds. This means that specific molecules fit into specific receptors, triggering the sensation of sweet or bitter taste. This is why some substances taste sweet to some people but bitter to others based on their unique receptor makeup.

Question 7

Skin senses,kinesthetic senses,and vestibular senses comprise which sense system?

Accepted Answer

Skin senses, kinesthetic senses, and vestibular senses are all part of the somesthetic sense system, which refers to our ability to sense and interpret sensations related to the body's position, movement, and orientation in space. Perceptual feedback refers to the overall process of receiving sensory input, while gustation and olfactory refer specifically to the senses of taste and smell, respectively.

Question 8

Jake is asked to spell a word,but to correctly do so he must actually take a pencil and write the word.Jake also seems to learn best through "hands­on" activities,where he can actually "do" the activity.Jake's learning style appears to make greatest use of which sense?

Accepted Answer

Jake’s learning style appears to be kinesthetic, which means he learns best through hands-on activities that involve physical movement and interaction with the material.

Question 9

The lock-and-key match between intricately-shaped molecules and taste receptors explains which two tastes?

Accepted Answer

The lock-and-key match between intricately-shaped molecules and taste receptors explains the tastes of sweet and bitter.

Question 10

The receptors in the inner ear for balance,gravity,and acceleration are part of which sense?

Accepted Answer

The receptors in the inner ear for balance, gravity, and acceleration are part of the vestibular sense. The gustation and olfactory senses are related to taste and smell, respectively, while the kinesthetic sense involves the perception of body position and movement.

Question 11

The five different sensations detected by the skin receptors are pressure,cold,warmth,pain,and

Accepted Answer

The five different sensations detected by the skin receptors are pressure, cold, warmth, pain, and light touch. None of the other options (smooth, rough, or ethereal) are specific sensations detected by the skin receptors.

Question 12

Sense organs in the joints and muscles contribute to which sense?

Accepted Answer

The sense organs in joints and muscles contribute to the kinesthetic sense, which is our sense of body position and movement. It allows us to perceive the location, movement, and action of our body parts without relying on vision.

Question 13

Regarding the word somesthetic,soma means

Accepted Answer

"Soma" in somesthetic refers to the body, specifically the physical sensations and perceptions experienced by the body.

Question 14

The vestibular sense helps keep us from

Accepted Answer

The vestibular sense is responsible for helping us maintain our balance and spatial orientation, which is crucial for preventing falls.

Question 15

Saltiness and sourness appear to be

Accepted Answer

The answer of Saltiness and sourness appear to be
...

Question 16

Skin sensations include

Accepted Answer

Skin sensations primarily include light touch, pressure, cold, warmth, and pain. Wetness is not a distinct skin sensation, but is instead a combination of temperature and pressure sensations, which is known as the thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors, respectively.

Question 17

The somesthetic senses include

Accepted Answer

The somesthetic senses refer to the senses of touch, temperature, pain, and pressure, which are all part of the body's somatosensory system. The vestibular sense relates to balance and spatial orientation, while kinesthetic sense relates to the awareness of body position and movement. Gustation and olfaction refer to the senses of taste and smell, respectively, which are not considered part of the somatosensory system. Similarly, audition refers to the sense of hearing, which is not related to the somatosensory system either. Therefore, option C (touch, vestibular sense, and kinesthetic sense) is the best choice as the somesthetic senses.

Question 18

The direct flow of charged atoms into the tips of the taste buds explains which two tastes?

Accepted Answer

The direct flow of charged atoms (ions) into the tips of the taste buds is primarily responsible for the perception of salt and sour tastes. Salt taste is detected through the direct entry of sodium ions, while sour taste is detected through the entry of hydrogen ions (protons), which can directly flow into the taste cells.

Question 19

Regarding the word somesthetic,esthetic means

Accepted Answer

The word "esthetic" refers to the subjective experience of beauty or art, and is not related to skin, balance or motion. However, "somesthetic" is a word formed from "soma" (meaning body) and "esthetic", and describes the perception of bodily sensations or feelings. Therefore, the best choice is D, "feel".

Question 20

Regarding gustation,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

The lock-and-key theory explains only the taste sensations of sweetness, bitterness, and umami (savory), but not saltiness and sourness.
