Perceptions= at \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Answer 12

receptor

cortex

Question 13

receptor field= _______ proximally,_________ distally

Answer 13

large

smaller

Question 14

when sensory receptors are subjected to an unchanging stimulus receptor membranes become less responsive and receptor potentials decline in frequency

Answer 14

adaptation

Question 15

what sense adapt quickly?

Question 16

slow adaptation receptors=

Answer 16
