Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the elephant will not react.

Explanation:

A kind of behavior that comprises a stimulus-response, which is distinct from the natural one is termed as conditioning. It is a kind of learned behavior. It is a kind of learning where the efficacy of stimulus enhances while provoking a response. When the presentation of two stimuli is done at a suitable time and with appropriate intensity, then one of them will be able to provoke a response that resembles the other one.  

In the given case, the mouse and the trombone are termed as unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. When a conditioned stimulus is demonstrated in a context of classical conditioning, it will result in the non-predication of the coming unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned response will get to cease slowly and will eliminate the conditioned fear. Thus, in the given case, the elephant will fail to react towards the trombone subsequently.

Match the gastric phase on the left (1-3) with the correct description on the right (4-6):
dem82 [27]

Answer:

1 and 5,

2 and 6,

3 and 4

Explanation:

Intestinal phase: stomach empties and decreases secretions

The intestinal phase is the phase where stomach empties its contents(chyme) and decreases secretion. In this stage the duodenum responds to arriving chyme and moderates gastric activity through hormones and nervous reflexes.

The Chyme is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by the stomach, through the pyloric valve, into the duodenum.

Gastric phase: stomach secretes juice and mixes food into chyme

The gastric phase is a period in which swallowed food and semi-digested protein ( peptides and amino acids ) activate gastric activity  which secretes juice and mixes food into chyme. About two-thirds of gastric secretion occurs during this phase.

Cephalic phase: prepares stomach for arrival of food

The cephalic phase of digestion is the gastric secretion that occurs prior to when food enters the oral cavity. Cephalic phase result from the ignition of  visual, olfactory, and auditory inputs to the brain and also induce anticipatory responses i.e  prepare the gastrointestinal tract for the meal.
