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.

Why is it more important to check for errors during dna replication than during translation?
marshall27 [118]
I think the answer would be because if there is an error in the DNA replication, it would affect one generation of cells. if the error would fall in the transcription or translation, there would only be one cell affected.

During respiration, members of the animal kingdom use ______ and then release ______ as a waste gas
raketka [301]

During respiration, members of the animal kingdom use oxygen and then release carbon dioxide as a waste gas.

Members of the animal kingdom have a respiratory system that is composed of muscles, and airways that functions together to transport air into lungs, and the oxygen is used by cells. Carbon dioxide is also transported away from the cells as a waste gas. Respiration relies on other systems, such as the circulatory system, to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from cells.
