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.

Polymerization and the break down of a polymer are two opposite reactions. What role does a water molecule play in both of them?
ladessa [460]
<span>In the process of polymerization, a chain of similar smaller molecules called monomer join together to create very large molecules called polymer. Through this chemical reaction, water is created as a by-product. In contrast to hydrolysis or breaking down of polymers, a water molecule is used to break the covalent bond that hold the components of a polymer.</span>

In hot weather, the testes are protected from the heat by relaxation of the dartos muscle. relaxation of the dartos muscle, cont
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Relaxation of the dartos muscle.

Explanation:

Testes are present in scrotum outside the pelvic cavity to maintain the temperature about 2-3 degrees Celsius below the body temperature as required for sperm production. Dartos muscle is the layer of smooth muscle located in the superficial fascia. The contraction of dartos muscle serves to make the skin of the scrotum wrinkled and tight.

During hot weather, the dartos muscle relaxes and makes the surface of scrotum less wrinkled to increase the loss of the heat from its surface. The increased heat loss from the surface of scrotum due to relaxed dartos muscles keeps the testes protected from heat.
