1) The passage supplies information to answer which of the following questions?
Quote:
A) By what means do the sensory nerves interpret what an individual sees?- CAREFULLY WRONG
When individual sees, sensor organs (eyes) translate physical events (individual see) into nerve impulses through sensor organs(eye) connected to brain with sensors nerves.
But it is not mentioned how this interpretation in SENSORY NERVES happens.
Very close option
Refer line :
The brain is connected to the sense organs by sensory nerves.
Animals that have survived are those equipped with sense organs—the eyes, ears, taste buds, skin, and nose—that translate patterns of physical events into nerve impulses in the brain.
Quote:
B) How will computers be able to simulate the functions of the human brain?-EASY WRONG
Refer line : However, it will be decades before the functions of human sense organs can be duplicated by machines.
Quote:
C) What are the major differences between human and animal sense organs?-EASY WRONG
no comparison between humans and animals of any organs
Refer line :
adaptive success of animals through the control and coordination of muscle contractions.
human senses can achieve more sophisticated feats of pattern recognition than computers
Quote:
D) What connects the brain to the motor and sensory nerves?- CAREFULLY WRONG
If see this option in hurry then may miss what is being asked? Read again!
Brain is connected with sensory organs through SENSORY NERVES
Brain is connected with muscles through MOTOR NERVES
Not Brain is connected with SENSORY NERVES and MOTOR Nerves
Quote:
E) Of what value is the sensorimotor system to the adaptive success of animals?- MATCHES
Sensorimotor means: sense + motor system (split the word)
Dictionary meaning: sensorimotor : Of or relating to the sensory and motor coordination of an organism or to the controlling nerves
Refer lines:
The brain contributes to the adaptive success of animals through the control and coordination of muscle contractions. This leads to the survival of an animal only if the timing of muscle contractions bears some relation to purpose. Animals that have survived are those equipped with sense organs.
(muscles coordination won’t happen unless perceived by sense organs when to run and when to eat on seeing food)
