Section A [25 objective questions]

1.

The following diagram shows the human tongue.

Which of the parts labelled A, B, C or D is a sensory cell?

4.

Which of the following ray diagrams is correct?

A B C D 2.

Area X is sensitive to glucose solution salty fish bitter gourd sour mango Why is it that our sensory organ of smell does not function properly when we have a cold or flu? Because the mucus produced is not enough to wet the nasal cavity. Because the number of smell receptors decreases during cold or flu. Because the flu medicine hinders the nerve to carry impulses to the brain. Because too much mucus covers the nasal cavity. Diagram below shows a section through part of a human head containing sensory organ.
