Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Phasic receptors are sensory receptors that are fast acting in detecting changes in the strength of a particular stimulus or signal to the brain. They are  fast adapting receptor cells that detect changes in the strength of a stimulus. Because of this fast adapting ability, they cannot be used by the CNS in constant signalling of stimulus. A different receptor called Tonic receptors are used by the brain for constant signalling because they are slow reacting cells are they continue to transmit signals to the CNS along as the stimulus remains and not to changes in the pressure or strength of the stimulus. Phasic receptors are so important in predicting the changes in the body fora given time and this helps to quantify how body can react to increase or release of a stimulus. because when  stimulus is added it signals the brain for some time and it signals stops but when the stimulus is released, it also signals the brain detecting bodily deformations to various stimulus.

Older adults are more susceptible to cardiac and nervous disorders along with poor musculoskeletal strength.  

To maintain good cardiac and nervous health; musculoskeletal fitness and strength; reduce depression, cognitive decline; older adults are directed to engage in moderate-intensity/vigorous or combination of both aerobic physical activities and muscle-strengthening exercises.

They should include physical activities combining one or more of; occupational (work-based) activities; transportation (walking, cycling); household chores (cleaning); leisure time activities (gardening, dancing); sports activities (hiking, biking, swimming, games, running) and planned daily routine exercise activities; all of them as part of their daily routines performed as an individual, family or community-based activities .

In specific, this type of asexual reproduction is called budding. In this type of reproduction, the offspring is completely identical to the parent and there is little room for variation as in the case of sexual reproduction. Other living organisms that exhibit this type of reproduction are yeast, bacteria, and protozoans.
