Question

Josh and a bunch of friends decided to see how many people they could squeeze into a small car for a charity event. Once inside, Josh felt it get hot, smelly, and like the air was getting squished out of his lungs. He also noticed aches and pains in his joints. Which of the following statements best describes the type of sensory neurons involved?A)His interoceptors were monitoring his respiratory system.B)His exteroceptors were bringing in information from the outside world.C)The proprioceptors were monitoring the position of his skeletal muscles and joints.D)The interoceptors, exteroceptors, and proprioceptors were all monitoring his condition.

Answer 1

Option (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in the external and internal environment can be detected by the receptors present on the body surface. These receptors help in detection and maintenance of the body homeostasis by the signal transduction mechanism.

Interoceptors detect the stimuli present within the body and mainly from internal organ and gut. Exteroceptors receive the stimuli by the external environment. Proprioceptor receive the stimuli by change in the body position and movement. All these receptors are involved in the Josh and his friends condition.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
