Which sensations can arise when free nerve endings in the skin are stimulated?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Free Nerve Endings**: Free nerve endings are sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues. They are responsible for detecting various types of stimuli. 2. **Types of Sensations**: When these free nerve endings are stimulated, they can lead to the perception of different sensations. The main types of sensations that arise from the stimulation of free nerve endings include: - **Pain**: This sensation arises from nociceptive stimuli, which are signals indicating potential harm or injury to the body. - **Thermal Sensations**: These sensations relate to the perception of temperature, allowing us to feel heat or cold. - **Tickle**: This sensation can occur when certain areas of the skin are lightly touched or stimulated. ...

A ball of mass m is attached to a string whose other end is fixed. The system is free to rotate in vertical plane. When the ball swings, no work is done on the ball by the tension in the string. Which of the following statement is the correct explanation?

A reaction is spontaneous if free energy change Delta G for the reaction is negative . The question arises, how we can explain , the spontaneous reversible reaction. Taking the example of dissociation equilibrium N_2 O_4 hArr 2NO_2(g) the variation of free energy with the fraction of N_2O_4 dissociated under standard conditions is shown in the figure below. When 1 mole of N_2O_4 changes into the equilibrium mixture the value of DeltaG^@ is
