Question
Chapter 10, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Somatic receptors are of four types such as mechanoreceptors that respond to the pressure change; chemoreceptors that respond to the chemicals; thermoreceptors that detect the temperature and photoreceptors that react to the light.

when a stimulus is applied for a prolonged period the rate of receptor discharge slows
A pin can be pressed against the skin lightly and elicit no response from the pain receptor. However, if the pin is jabbed into the finger, the pain receptor may be stimulated and the finger would quickly be withdrawn through a reflex arc.
Use what you know about threshold potential and the all-or-none principle to explain different levels of sensation (light touch or pain)
Describe the flow of generation of receptor potential when sensory receptors detected stimuli.

The larger the receptive field of a sensory receptor, the greater the expected acuity and the more accurate the two-point discrimination. Lateral inhibition of neighboring receptors resulting in a relative reduction of action potentials in the neighboring second order neurons would be expected to increase acuity. A receptor potential that remains suprathreshold into the absolute refractory period will result in additional action potentials.arrow_forward
- Define accommodation (aka adaptation) of receptors and give two examples of such.arrow_forwardAn example of a sensory neuron is one that leads from a pain receptor in the finger to the spinal cord. A pin can be pressed against the skin without eliciting a response from the pain receptor. However, if the pin is jabbed into the finger, the pain receptor may be stimulated and the finger would quickly be withdrawn through a reflex arc. How do we sense different types of pain (very painful vs. not painful at all)? Using your knowledge of threshold potential and the all-or-none principle, explain how it is possible to sense different levels of pain.arrow_forwardDoes a stimulus applied to a receptor always lead to depolarization or a receptor potentialarrow_forward
