Individual Experiment of Three Different Receptors

Experiment 4 With this experiment we will fill three bowls with different temperature in each bowl. The bowl on the left there will be hot water. The one on the right is cold water, and then the middle has warm water. Now taking your hand and submerge them in the appropriate bowls and what is it you feel? Here the experience that was recorded was the water on the left hand stayed the same but the reaction on the right hand was that the water seemed to feel like it was getting cooler. See when I had done this experiment I had reverse the process by accident and I could not keep my right hand in the water for that first three minute that the experiment had asked for. The water was only
108 degree but felt very hot like stepping into a hot shower and the water stings your skin. What ten minutes and did experiment the right way and noticed the water seems to get colder. So with the experiment perspectives the reaction to the sensory was the same just in reverse. That is way the water was to be cold on the right side. These receptors are located in the epidermis (layers of skin cells, the outermost of which are dead) and the dermis (the Layer of skin below the epidermis) Nerves connect back from these layers of skin to the brain, carrying the impulses there. Where they are turn into sensations. (Intro to phycology) pg. 60 The Teromrecetors are sensory unique to the experiment along with Proprioception and anterolateral system which carries information about pain and pressure. (Intro to psyco) pg.63
The skin has a variety of separated receptors. These are nerve endings that are sensitive to outside stimuli such as heat, pressure, vibration, tickling, disruption and itching (Benson,1982).
So the two sensors that were used in this experiment are: Thermo receptors – sensory receptors in the body that respond to change in temperature. Nocie receptors – which respond to damage to the body usually in the form of pain.

Experiment 2
With this experiment you want to get two glasses of water. After getting the water take about a table spoon of sugar and mix it in one of the glasses. After the sugar dissolves taking a large sip of water holding it in your mouth till you don’t sense the sweetness in your mouth. Well the experiment took about 15to 25 sec for it not to be as sweet as the first taste in the mouth. Now, spit out the sweet water and take a sip of tap water. Here was the experience on the tongue taste bud felt like they stood up and were waiting for some other sense. It was a surprise to my thoughts and to the tongue. The thought was as the feeling of the tongue taste buds felt like they were literally standing awaiting the next taste. The part of the brain that is being used at this process is called the limbic system. This is emotion and memories are processed. Taste travels from the mouth to the brainstem via three different cranial nerves-the facial nerve, the glossopharyngeal nerve and the vagus nerve. From nuclei in the brainstem, information about taste travels to the thalamus and then to the cortex,
Factors affecting taste are; visual, shape, texture and temperature to mention a few. (Intro to phycology.) pg.59,60 Here are using the Chemoreceptor this is where smell and taste located in the nose and mouth. Although tastes of food signals weather the foods are safe and nutritious
(sweet foods are usually safe and bitter foods are often not), adults in modern society generally eat for pleasure. (Intro to phycology)pg. 60 Sensory cortex – an area of the brain that receives input directly from parts of the thalamus and also receives input either from the primary cortex or form other secondary areas. (Intro to phycology)pg. G7

Introduction The bioassay is an experiment that measures the response of a particular chemical substance on the living organism of a tissue [1]. Bioassays can therefore aid in the research and development of drugs especially in the pharmaceutical industry. In this bioassay the influence of two drugs (antagonists) on Acetylcholine mediated contractions on smooth muscle were measured [2]. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that when bound to a particular receptor is involved in the contraction and…

Dominant Vs Non Dominant Lab Report

Dominant vs. Non-dominant This experiment was tested on 5 different people to see which hand is stronger (dominant or non-dominant). To test the 5 participants, they had to put both of their hands in ice water at 40 degrees with 20 ice cubes to see which hand comes out first. The hypothesis said that the dominant hand would stay in longer because it is said to be stronger (“WebMD”). All together within the 3 trials, the results said that the dominant hand is stronger. About 70-95% of humans are…

Object Recognition Memory Essay

functions of the brain, there is much left to learn on how memory works. Memory, namely spatial memory and object recognition memory, is thought to share a relationship with novelty. It found that when administered with clonidine, an α2 adrenergic receptor agonist, rats sought novel environments less frequently (Sara, Dyon-Laurent, & Hervé, 1995). This fit their hypothesis that novelty-seeking behaviour is governed by the noradrenergic system, with norepinephrine (NE) being the neurotransmitter involved…

The significance of this enzyme is its role it plays in the human body to maintain cholesterol homeostasis. Different forms of PCSK9 can reduce or increase circulating cholesterol. When PCSK9 binds to an LDLR, the receptor is destroyed along with the LDL particle, although if PCSK9 does not bind to an LDLR, the receptor can return to the surface of the cell and remove more cholesterol. Other variants of PCSK9 are associated with a rare autosomal dominant familial…

By using the Placebo Effect, I told the test participants that three bowls of the same ice cream were all of a different price; the subjects then filled out a questionnaire about the three bowls of ice cream with just the knowledge of its’ price and how it tasted.

Proprioception Essay

Q1 Proprioception is the sense that gives us our awareness of the relative positions of the different parts of our bodies. The system has sensors within joints, muscles and skin which relays information to the brain about joint angles and skin and muscle stretch. Its role is to act as the start point of any sequence of movement as without information about where we are now we could not format the instructions for moving to where we want to move to. Rather like asking a GPS system to guide you…
