As Jerry nears the campfire, he is delighted at the warmth it provides. Jerry perceives this temperature because of thermoreceptors in his skin.

<h3>What are thermoreceptors?</h3>
  • The receptive part of a sensory neuron, or more precisely a non-specialized sense receptor called a thermoreceptor, is responsible for coding absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily those that fall within a safe range.
  • Warmth sensors are assumed to be unmyelinated C-fibers in the mammalian peripheral nervous system (low conduction velocity), whereas cold receptors have both C-fibers and sparsely myelinated A delta fibers.
  • Warm receptors respond well to warming, which causes them to discharge action potentials more quickly.
  • For cold sensors, cooling causes an increase in firing rate whereas warming causes a reduction.
  • A paradoxical reaction to heat is when some cold receptors react to high temperatures, usually above 45 °C, by releasing a short action potential.

nevsk [136]
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) are Gonadotropins stimulated in the gonads. In females, they are located in the ovaries. They are not needed for life yet important for reproduction. Progesterone which is being secreted in corpus luteum is needed for maintenance of pregnancy thus if a female has a low FSH and LH it will affect the chance of her be pregnant.

Alika [10]

Answer:

Logistic

Explanation:

As the newly mated queen inhabit the new habitat, the population of the ants would increase slowly first followed by a rapid increase in the population size. Once the population size reaches the carrying capacity, it is leveled off.

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of the individuals of a population that can be supported indefinitely by a habitat. Once the population reaches the carrying capacity, one or other required resources become limited which in turn does not allow the exponential growth of the population.

This type of population growth wherein the exponential increase is followed by leveling out the population as the carrying capacity is reached, is called logistic population growth.
