Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Meissner's corpuscles or corpuscles of touch are a type of nerve endings in the skin within the epithelium that are responsible for sensitivity to fine touch. They have the highest sensitivity (the lowest response threshold) when they receive vibrations of less than 50 Hz, which is what the specifics do. They are rapidly active receptors.

Answer:

C. Pacinian corpuscles

Explanation:

Pacinian corpuscles are mechanoreceptors with very fast adaptation rate that have small receptive fields that respond to deep pressured vibrations. They are found deep in the hairless skin of mammals. They are one of the many receptors in the human body and they are fast adapting because they react to pressure on the skin of mammals.

Pacinian corpuscles is one of the four major mechanoreceptors in the body. Others include,

Meissner corpuscles, Ruffini endings, and Merkel cell neurite complex.

I cook for my family every day, on my way back home, I phone my family to see what kind of food is in the fridge, so I can go shopping in the market. I take the car via the market home and start at the back of the market and get all of the fresh vegetables I need to cook a pasta dish, I specialize each area of the market to optimize my time, and get better prices for the produce. I ask someone to help me carry my shopping to the car, and phone home to ask my wife to turn on the oven, and start to boil water. Once home I chop the vegetable and cook the pasta, and we sit down for dinner.

Natasha_Volkova [10]
Answer: tert−butoxideComparing ethoxide or tert−butoxide, the stronger base is the tert−butoxide. The conjugate acid of a tert−butoxide ion is three times that of the ethoxide ion making it less polar and a weaker acid. A weaker acid makes a stronger base.
