Suppose you have three water baths in front of you. The temperature of the one on the left is 22°C (cold), the one in the middle

is 25°C (room temperature,) and the one on the right is 44°C (warm). At the same time, you place the index finger of your right hand into the warm water bath and the index finger of your left hand into the cold water bath, and you leave them there for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, why would you no longer feel a difference in temperature between the two water baths?

Answer:

In the given case, after two minutes the person is not able to make a distinction between the temperature of the two water baths because in the index fingers the sensory receptors are present, which becomes less sensitive due to continuous stimulation over time.  

The dendrites of sensory neurons that perform a unique function of attaining particular types of stimuli are termed as sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are mainly categorized as thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, or mechanoreceptors. Mainly the classification of sensory receptors is done by the kind of response produced by the stimulus in the receptor. Generally, sensory receptors react primarily towards any of the four kinds of stimuli, which are temperature, chemicals, light, and pressure.

Dmitriy789 [7]
The continental drift affects living organisms in that it causes changes in climates which puts selective pressure on organisms, causes changes in habitats, including when large amounts of shallow marine habitat were lost in the formation of Pangea.

2) Compare the types of neurons that synapse in the posterior, lateral, and anterior gray horns of the spinal cord.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

<h2>Gray matter: the gray matter is arranged intohorns: The posterior horn extends towards the dorsal root, the anterior horn extends towards the ventral horn, and the lateral horn lies between the posterior and anterior horns. </h2>

Explanation:

The posterior horn is associated with the sensory nerve cells, the anterior horn is associated with the somatic motor neuron, and the lateral horn associated with the ANS ( autonomic nervous system).

Posterior horn:

Sensory neurons pass through the dorsal root ganglion after that the dorsal root and in the gray matter the neurons synapse to inter neurons in the posterior horn or may continue to the white matter and  then enter the spinal cord.

Anterior horn:

The motor portion of the nervous system has two parts; i) the somatic motor system and the ii) autonomic nervous system. The somatic motor neuron stimulates the skeletal muscle with stimulation. The somatic motor neuron cell bodies (part of verve cell) are in the anterior horn of the gray matter.

Lateral horn:  

The autonomic motor neuron send stimulation to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands etc. The cell bodies( part of nerve cell) of the autonomic motor neuron are in the lateral horn of the gray matter.
