How many types of nerve ending are there? The four major types of tactile mechanoreceptors include: Merkel’s disks, Meissner’s corpuscles, Ruffini endings, and Pacinian corpuscles. Merkel’s disk are slow-adapting, unencapsulated nerve endings that respond to light touch; they are present in the upper layers of skin that has hair or is glabrous. Where do you […]

How do you calculate exponential population growth?
How do you calculate exponential population growth? From the given data, we can conclude the initial population value, x0, equals 10,000. Also, we have the growth rate of r = 5%. Therefore, the exponential growth formula we should use is: x(t) = 10,000 * (1 + 0.05)t = 10,000 * 1.05t . What is exponential […]
What are the similarities and differences between electric and magnetic forces?
What are the similarities and differences between electric and magnetic forces? Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like poles repel; unlike […]
How do bones muscles and joints work together?
How do bones muscles and joints work together? Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint. Then, when the movement is completed, the flexor relaxes and the extensor contracts to […]
