Imagine yourself in a dark classroom reading PowerPoint slides. If an audience member were to check the internet using her cell

phone and causing her screen to light up, chances are that many people would notice the change in illumination in the classroom. However, if the same thing happened in a brightly lit classroom during a discussion, very few people would notice. The cell phone brightness does not change, but its ability to be detected as a change in illumination varies dramatically between the two contexts. This is an example of ________.

The answer is Weber's law

Answer:

Weber's Law

Explanation:

Weber-Fechner's Law relates the physical magnitude of a stimulus to the subjective intensity of a person's sensation. It goes for any sensory perception, be it auditory, visual, thermal, tactile, taste or olfactory. Generally speaking, the Weber-Fechner Law can be stated as follows: the increase in stimulus necessary to produce the minimum increase in sensation is proportional to the pre-existing stimulus. Cell phone light is a stimulus, which is increased in low light situations, so this light is more noticeable in a dark and quiet room than in a room with lots of people talking.

Explain what happens in the nervous system when your finger is hurt
vladimir2022 [97]

Tissue damage activates nociceptors or pain receptors in the skin. A signal is sent to the peripheral nerve to the spinal cord where neurotransmitters or chemical messengers are released. It activates other nerves to pass signal to the brain. The signals are relayed to the somatosensory cortex for sensation, frontal cortex for thinking and limbic system for emotional response.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The rotator cuff tendons enclose the shoulder joint on all sides except on the bottom side, which partly explains the nature of most shoulder dislocations.

Rotator cuffs are a type of tendons that surround the shoulder and help in keeping the upper arm in its location and also attached to the shoulder joint. The upper arm is connected at the socket of the shoulder.

Shoulder dislocation is the injury where the upper arm is dislocated from its exact location of the socket of shoulder joint. This can also cause damage to the ligaments. Shoulder dislocation can be of three types: anterior, posterior and inferior.

The action potential can move only in one direction because the recently depolarized area of the membrane is an absolute refract
Nataly [62]

Answer: Na+ channels are closed

Explanation:

The refractory period describes a period between the initiation of an action potential (where Na+ channels are active/open), and immediately after the action potential’s peak.  In the absolute refractory period, action potentials cannot be generated, as Na+ channels are in an inactive or closed state, they usually take around one or two minutes.  

After the absolute refractory period the relative refractory period (RRP) occurs. During the RRP, it is hard to send another action potential. Na+ channels are once again open, but the cell remains hyperpolarized-  its membrane potential, remains negative. Recovery from inactivation is voltage and time-dependent; Action potentials would require an influx of more positively charged ions. These must be more than a specific threshold in order to have the cells send along more action potentials which helps with figuring out stimulus intensity.
