Answer:

proprioceptor

Explanation:

Proprioceptors are the receptor located in a joint, muscle, or tendon. These receptors are concerned with locomotion, posture, and muscle tone. These receptors respond to internal stimuli only and are present in a specific location in the body. For example, the tendon organ is a proprioceptor present in the tendon. The function of the tendon organ is to monitor the muscle tension and to prevent its tearing. These receptors also help smooth start and termination of muscle contraction.

Proprioceptors are the mechanoreceptors that regulate the body’s equilibrium and posture by their role in reflex actions that maintain muscle tone. They sense the position of limbs by detecting the degree of muscle relaxation, the stretch of tendons, and ligament movements.

What is the likely long-term consequence of an increase in the relative percent of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere?
kvv77 [185]

Correct answer: A). Earth’s average temperature will increase.

Green house gases are those gases, which are present in the air that have the ability to trap heat of the earth's surface. Gases like carbon dioxide and methane are  known to be found naturally play an important role in earth's climate. If they are not found the earth' s climate would be too cold creating problem for survival of life on the earth.

They absorb and emit the radiation in the thermal infrared range. These gases act like a blanket and save earth surface from infrared radiation by absorbing them and prevent them from escaping out of the earth surface.

But due to increased in the concentration of green house gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the environment due to pollution and deforestation is causing a great problem, which result in a global warming, which is a great concern for all the people on the planet. It will increase the annual global temperature which will result in the melting of glaciers. So, the issue of global warming should be taken seriously and adequate measure should be taken to control it.
