1) What device is depicted in this slide?(1 slide)
Ans. Acoustic startle apparatus
2) What is the device depicted in this slide? (1 slide)
Ans. Nylon identification tag; significantly less likely to be lost during a study and
heals much better.
3) What is this device? (1 slide)
Ans. Elevated zero-maze – the continuous circuit of light and dark section, which
avoids intersection between open and closed arms may reduce ambiguity in scoring.
In other words the elevated zero maze has no start point.
4) What device is depicted in this slide? What 2 other tests measure the same
behavior? (1 slide)
Ans. Von Frey hairs; tail flick test and hot plate test are 2 other analgesiometric tests.
5) This image shows a nipple made for a nursing bottle that is much bigger that the
