A Thermometer: measures the air temperature.
A wind vane: determines the direction from which the wind is blowing from.
An Anemometer: measures wind speed.
A Hygrometer: measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.
A Barometer: measures air pressure
Answer:
B. only chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors
Explanation:
Receptors are chemical structures, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems.
Receptors that can be found in the mouth include: chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors.
<u>Chemoreceptors</u>
These are receptors that detects chemical stimuli, either molecules or ions dissolved in liquids. An example would be our taste buds in the mouth, because they respond to specific molecules or ions in our ingested food.
<u>Thermoreceptors</u> responds to changes in temperature. These receptors are present in the oral cavity, skin and hypothalamus.
Mechanoreceptors are receptors that respond to distortion of the plasma membrane that occurs due to touch, pressure, vibration, stretch, stress or strain
. They can be found in the mucosae of ginviva (gum), cheek, tongue and soft and hard palate.
<u>Nociceptors</u> are receptor responds to painful stimuli. The purpose of nociceptors is to inform the body of injury, damage or threat of damage to body tissues so that a response may be made. They can be found in the tooth pulp and within dentine cavity.
Answer:
Study of comparative anatomy emerged in the 18th century and led to establishment of relationship between species based on the common traits
Explanation:
The three major events that occurred after this discovery are –
a) Discovery of the fact that the age of earth is much higher than the age of earth as found in previous theories of continental drift theory
b) The age of the oldest fossils was determined and based on that relative age of all species (as found in fossils) was determined.
c) The determination of age of fossil helped to find the gaps in the evolutionary tree and hence provoked search of these missing species.
The study of comparative anatomy started somewhere around 1800 when George Cuvier emerged as father of comparative anatomy
Based on comparative anatomy study, scientists such as Buffon and Lamarck worked on establishing relationship between species based on the common traits shared between them
Answer: A population that lives together in an area.
