65 multiple choice 1 point
movement of hair cells in the cochlea is caused mostly by:
sound
movement of the head
66 multiple choice 1 point
which of the following is not a major region of the brain?
brain stem
cerebellum
cauda equina
diencephalon

Explanation:

Question (First, about taste receptor cells):

Olfactory hair cells are for smell, Pacinian corpuscles are for pressure/vibration (not taste), basal stem cells are for tissue renewal (not taste). Gustatory cells are the receptor cells for taste.

The cochlea is part of the auditory system. Sound waves cause vibrations that move hair cells in the cochlea. Movement of the head is related to the vestibular system (balance), not cochlear hair cell movement for hearing.

Brain stem, cerebellum, and diencephalon are major brain regions. Cauda equina is a bundle of spinal nerve roots at the end of the spinal cord, not a brain region.

Answer:

Gustatory cells

Question 65 (Movement of cochlear hair cells):
