taste.

equilibrium.

smell.

pain.

question 5
1 pts
if you slammed your finger in a car door, it would stimulate ______ pain fibers.

chronic

acute

visceral

both chronic and visceral

question 6
1 pts
the receptors responsible for sensing crude and persistent touch are the:

meissner corpuscles.

krause end bulbs.

ruffini corpuscles.

free nerve endings.

Explanation:

• Question 4: The olfactory tract is part of the neural pathway for the sense of smell. Taste is carried by gustatory pathways, equilibrium by vestibular pathways, and pain by nociceptive pathways.
• Question 5: Slamming a finger in a car door is a sudden, intense stimulus. Acute pain fibers respond to such immediate, sharp pain. Chronic pain is long - term, visceral pain is from internal organs, and the scenario is not a combination of chronic and visceral.
• Question 6: Ruffini corpuscles are responsible for sensing crude and persistent touch. Meissner corpuscles are for light touch and vibration, Krause end bulbs are for cold and fine touch in some theories, and free nerve endings are for pain, temperature, and crude touch but Ruffini is more specific for the described "crude and persistent" in the question context.

Answer:

• Question 4: smell
• Question 5: acute
• Question 6: Ruffini corpuscles
