Biology - Neural Control and Coordination Question with Solution | TestHub
Match the type of receptors in Column I with their location in Column II.
| Column (I) Receptors | Column (II) Location |
|---|---|
| (A) Statoreceptors | (I) Taste buds of tongue |
| (B) Proprioceptors | (II) Wall of atria, carotid sinus |
| (C) Baroreceptors | (III) Joints, muscles and tendons |
| (D) Gustato-receptors | (IV) Semi-circular canals of the internal ear |
Choose the correct option
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Statoreceptors are responsible for maintaining balance and equilibrium, located in the semi-circular canals of the internal ear. Thus, A matches with IV.
Proprioceptors provide information about the position of the body and its parts, located in joints, muscles, and tendons. Thus, B matches with III.
Baroreceptors detect changes in blood pressure, located in the wall of atria and carotid sinus. Thus, C matches with II.
Gustatoreceptors are responsible for the sense of taste, located in the taste buds of the tongue. Thus, D matches with I.
The correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
Answer: A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
