The mechanoreceptor that is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving stretching of the skin is called Ruffini corpuscle.

Mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure. They are connected with sensory neurons that convert this mechanical pressure into electrical signal. It is of four types-

1. Merkel corpuscles- detect pressure and roughness on skin.

2. Ruffini corpuscles- detect deep tension in skin, skin stretch.

3. Meissner corpuscles- perception of light touch and slip on skin.

4. Pacinian corpuscles or Vater-panician corpuscles- detect rapid vibrations.

When these receptors sense a stimuli they gets excited and generates an impulse that travels through the nerve cells into the brain.

Explain how the use of genetically engineered products can affect the economy and society.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

due to gmos we can expand the shelf life of many of our foods and prevent them from the harm of pests. You night be rhinking why not use pesticides? well, we did but eventually the pests became immune to the low dose of pesticide. over time we gradually increased our uses of pesticides. more commonly round up. this pesticide specifically was known for being a carcinogen. (something that causes cancer.) Genetically modifying a crop can severely decrease the amount of pesticides used for our crops and could also potentially drop the prices. for example, in hawaii during the 1940s to 1990s the ringspot viruses hit the hawaiian papaya harvest hard. this reduced the amount of papaya produced by 50 percent by 1993 and 2006. the ringspot virus nearly wiped out the entire crop. within 11 months, the hawaiian papya was saved. due to gmos of course. this is because scientists took genes from immune papayas which very rarelt occured (at the time) and injected it into many other papya plants. as the plants grew, new papaya was produced which was immine to ringspit virus. PAPAYA WAS SAVED!!!!

if retinal detachment occurs in the macula lutea, one can predict that there would be a significant loss of ______.
vodka [1.7K]
The correct answer is color vision.
The macula lutea is an area near the center of the human's eye retina. It has an oval shape and is responsible for the high-resolution color vision we have under good light conditions. If the macula lutea is destroyed, due to macular degeneration or a retinal detachment, then this color vision is impaired.
