Answer:

Option E, C tactile (CT) afferent

Explanation:

Whenever a slow moving gentle touch experienced, the response is due to the nerve fibers called C-Tactile afferents (CTs).  

C-Tactile afferents (CTs) are unmyelinated mechanoreceptors  of low threshold and low conduction velocities.  

In humans, CT neurons are found in hairy skin.  

The pleasant feeling observed during a slow gentle touch is due to the interaction of  

CT neurons project to the insular cortex in the brain

Hence, option E is correct

The steps in the hemostasis process are (1) platelets become sticky and form a platelet plug, (2) walls of a damaged blood vesse
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: D. 2-1-3

Explanation:

Hemostasis can be define as a process which causes bleeding to stop when an injury occurs .This process is carried out through this 3 steps;

Vascular Spasm or Vasoconstriction : In this step, the body constrict the blood vessel to reduce the flow of blood to the affected area.

Formation of the Platelet Plug : In this step the body respond by activating platelets which encounters the affected area, becomes sticky and forms a plug that serves as a barrier against blood flow.

Coagulation: Involves the formation of a blood clot. It is a complex process that has Fibrin as it's end product. Fibrin is more like a glue that holds the platelets plug together.

The Fibrin clot gains strength and then dissolves when the walls of the affected blood vessels close and heals.
