a channel can be gated mechanically, voltage or by a ligand. When you hear a sound all three of these type channels are being utilized. Explain generally where/how each of these channels are being utilized starting from hearing the sound, through travelling down a nerve to transmission to another nerve.

Contrast the somatic nervous system with the ANS foreach of the following:a. number of neurons between the CNS and the effectororganb. location of neuron cell bodiesc. structures each innervatesd. inhibitory or excitatory effectse. conscious or unconscious controlf. neurotransmitter(s) used
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurolab)to see a virtual neurophysiology lab, and to observeelectrophysiological processes in the nervous system,where scientists directly measure the electrical signalsproduced by neurons. Often, the action potentials occur sorapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is nothelpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded froma neuron and it “pops” each time the neuron fires an actionpotential. These action potentials are firing so fast that itsounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists canrecognize the patterns within that static to understand whatis happening. Why is the leech model used for measuringthe electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?
Receptors such as those in the inner ear, respond to stimulation with an AM response. In contrast, a neuron connected to that receptor, sending information centrally (ex: the brain) respond in an FM manner. Differentiate between: I. how the degree of stimulation to the receptor is encoded as compared to, II. the degree of the stimulation encoding by the neuron connected to the receptor
