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.

miskamm [114]

Answer: close ended

Explanation:

In a job oriented interview both open and closed ended questions are asked to the job seeker. The open ended interview questions are generally very long answer type questions these questions allows the person to express. These questions are asked to learn about the personality and interests of the job seeker. The closed ended questions are the short questions and they are easy to answer and these can be answered in yes and no. These questions are asked and answered quickly. The chances of mistakes in these questions are more. The chances of misinterpretation of the question is always more in these questions. But these questions allow to get more information about the candidate as compared to the open ended questions as during the open ended question session the job seeker can manipulate the facts but in the case of close ended questions the asking tendency is rapid so no manipulation can occur.
