Which of the following would increase two - point discrimination?
Select one:
a. Increasing the size of the mechanoreceptors
b. Increasing the size of the mechanoreceptor receptive fields
c. Decreasing the size of the mechanoreceptor receptive fields
d. Increasing the threshold for firing of the mechanoreceptors
e. Decreasing the density of the mechanoreceptors in the skin

Question

Accepted Answer

***C*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Two-point discrimination⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Two-point discrimination is the ability to discern that two nearby objects touching the skin are truly two distinct points, not one. This ability is enhanced by having smaller receptive fields of mechanoreceptors, which allows for more precise localization of stimuli.⚹ ***A*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹DNA replication⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand, following base-pairing rules (A-T and G-C), within the double helix structure. This process ensures the production of two identical DNA molecules from the original.⚹ ***B*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Common overactive/shortened lower body muscles⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Typically, the hip flexors and calves are prone to overactivity and shortening due to prolonged sitting and lack of stretching, which can lead to postural imbalances and potential discomfort.⚹ ***C*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Preventable deaths from lifestyle diseases⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹A significant percentage of deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer could be prevented through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption. Exact percentages vary by study and population.⚹◊What is the relationship between the size of mechanoreceptors and two-point discrimination?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
