Answer:

Sensory Adaption

Explanation:

Stimuli, both external and internal, are sensed with the help of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors sense the change in internal or external conditions called stimuli and send the information to the central nervous system. The sensory information is processed and interpreted in the central nervous system which in turn makes a person aware of the sensed stimuli.

However, the constant presence of the same stimulus does not trigger the firing of the action potential as it occurred during the first few encounters. This is called sensory adaption. For example, chirping of birds is apparent when a person enters the countryside but becomes less apparent after a few days due to sensory adaption of ears.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Bronchioles

Explanation:

You inhale through your nose and the air is filtered. It goes down the pharynx. It goes through the larynx. A "door" called the epiglottis opens during breathing. Then it enters the trachea. (windpipe) It goes through the bronchus. The tertiary bronchi branch into fine tubules called bronchioles, the last passageways for air. Air ends its pathway in the ________. (I bet you can guess because you're so smart!) They're surrounded by capillaries that connect the pulmonary arteries and veins. This enables the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

I hope this helped!!! Good luck on the test/quiz/project/homework/etc. you're working on! If you want I can give you a l!nk to the article I used. If not, it's fine too. Have a great day!
