Answer:

Answer:

B. only chemoreceptors,

mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and

nociceptors

Explanation:

Receptors are chemical structures, that

receive and transduce signals that may

be integrated into biological systems.

Receptors that can be found in the

mouth include: chemoreceptors,

mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and

nociceptors.

Chemoreceptors

These are receptors that detects

chemical stimuli, either molecules or ions

dissolved in liquids. An example would

be our taste buds in the mouth, because

they respond to specific molecules or

ions in our ingested food.

Thermoreceptors responds to changes

in temperature. These receptors are

present in the oral cavity, skin and

hypothalamus.

Mechanoreceptors are receptors that

respond to distortion of the plasma

membrane that occurs due to touch,

pressure, vibration, stretch, stress or

strain

. They can be found in the mucosae of

hypothalamus.

Mechanoreceptors are receptors that

respond to distortion of the plasma

membrane that occurs due to touch,

pressure, vibration, stretch, stress or

strain

. They can be found in the mucosae of

ginviva (gum), cheek, tongue and soft and

hard palate.

Nociceptors are receptor responds

to painful stimuli. The purpose of

nociceptors is to inform the body of

injury, damage or threat of damage to

body tissues so that a response may be

made. They can be found in the tooth

pulp and within dentine cavity.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of blood that flows through our bodies: oxygenated and deoxygenated. Oxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the left side of the atrium in the heart. As its name tells us, is the one that is highly with oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. Normally a sample of an oxygenated blood will be very bright in red due to the amount of blood cells in it. Deoxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the right side of the atrium in the heart. This blood is the one that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It is also known as the venous blood. Normally a sample of a deoxygenated blood will be darker almost going on blue.
