This type of sensory receptor are found throughout the body, including the skin, muscles, joints, and internal organs.
Mechanoreceptors
It is typically short-lived and results from injury or a specific health condition.
Acute Pain
A level of mental activity that is inaccessible to conscious awareness.
Nonconscious Level
This hormone is responsible for controlling the body’s metabolism.
Cortisol
These are long, thread-like structures made up of DNA and proteins. They carry many genes and are found inside the nucleus of our cells.
Chromosomes
These are specialized cells found in the retina of the eye that are responsible for detecting and responding to light.
Photoreceptors
These are transmitted through specialized nerve fibers called nociceptors, which detect harmful stimuli.
Pain Signals
About how many percent of the sleeping time is spent in REM?
25%
This lobe is linked with memory and recalling past experiences. It also helps us understand the meaning of words and linking words to objects.
Temporal Lobe
It is a mechanism of evolution where organisms with favorable traits survive, reproduce, and pass those traits to their offspring.
Natural Selection
In the Photoreceptors, these are responsible for color vision and visual acuity in bright light conditions.
Cones
Research indicates that individuals experiencing heightened emotional states, such as _____ or ______, report increased pain sensitivity and lower pain tolerance.
Depression or Anxiety
A level of mental activity that is not currently conscious but that can easily become conscious.
Preconscious Level
A school of Psychology where knowledge originates in experience and that science should rely on observation and experiments.
Empiricism
All genetic code is made up of combinations of four chemical units called:
Nucleotides
In the mechanoreceptors, they respond to sustained pressure and play a role in the perception of shapes and edges.
Merkel Discs
The ______ ______ acts as a crucial relay station for pain signals. It not only transmits the signals to the brain but also modulates pain perception through mechanisms like gate control theory.
Spinal Cord
It is a sleep-related disorder in which repetitive pauses in breathing, periods of shallow breathing, or collapse of the upper airway during sleep results in poor ventilation and sleep disruption.
Sleep Apnea
What are the three Dark Triad in Psychology
Narcissism
Machiavellianism
Psychopathy
Enumerate the 4 chemical units of genetic code.
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine

Insomnia, Narcolepsy, Sleep Apnea ,Sleep Walking, Sleep Talking, Nightmares, Night Terrors
The goals of Psychology are:
observe, describe, explain, predict, control
