question 82

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between an optical double star and a visual binary star?

• A) An optical double is an illusion-the stars are at vast distances from each other and are not actually orbiting each other-whereas in a visual binary, the stars are actually orbiting each other.
• B) There is no difference; they are two names for the same thing.
• C) The stars in an optical double star are actually orbiting each other, whereas a visual binary is an illusion. The stars are at vast distances from each other and are not actually orbiting each other.
• D) Optical double stars can be seen as separate stars only through a telescope, whereas visual binaries can be seen with the unaided eye (e.g., the star Mizar in the Big Dipper's handle).

Definitions:

Myelinated

Refers to nerve fibers covered by a myelin sheath, which increases the speed at which electrical impulses are transmitted along the nerve cells.

C Fibers

Small-diameter nerve fibers that provide information concerning slow, diffuse, lingering pain.

Unmyelinated

Referring to nerve fibers that lack a myelin sheath, which often results in slower signal transmission compared to myelinated fibers.

Myelinated Afferent

Nerve fibers with a myelin sheath that conduct sensory signals to the central nervous system, often related to proprioception and touch.
