A thermosensory neuron in the skin converts heat energy to nerve impulses via a conversion called

Sav [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

The term sensory transduction refers to the conversion process where the sensory energy is converted in order to change the potential of a membrane.

In other words, it can defined as the process of energy conversion such that stimulus can be transmitted or received by the sensory receptors and the nervous system may initiate with the sensory receptors.

Transduction takes in all of the five receptors of the body. Thus skin is also one of the receptors and hence conversion of heat energy into impulses takes place with the help of thermo-sensory neuron.

What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke?
balu736 [363]
I believe the answer is D, Heat exhaustion involves a lack of sweating, while heat stroke involves extreme sweating. Also just to add the on if heat exhaustion is left untreated then it could turn into a heat stroke.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

In a two-slit experiment using coherent light, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.10 m, and the distance between
Paul [167]

Answer:

D) 763 nm

Explanation:

Calculation for the wavelength of light

Using this formula

Wavelength of light=Delta Y*Distance / Length

Where,

Delta Y represent the 2nd order bright fringe

Length represent the distance between both the slits and the screen

Distance represent the Distance between the slits

Let note that cm to m = (4.2) x 10^-2 and mm to m= ( 0.0400x 10^-3)

Now Let plug in the formula

Wavelength of light=[(4.2 x 10^-2m)(0.0400 x 10^-3m) / 2(1.1m)]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light=[(0.042m) (0.0004m)/2.2m]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =(0.0000168m/2.2m)*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =7.63 *10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =763 nm

Therefore the Wavelength of light will be 763 nm
