List and describe the three receptor classes based upon location?
Regarding olfaction, put the steps below in order for transduction.
Question options:
Odorant binds to olfactory receptor
Adenylate cyclase is activated
G-protein is activated inside receptor cell
ATP is converted into cyclic AMP
Cyclic AMP opens ion channels, causing depolarization
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

- An 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 However, if the pin is jabbed into the finger, the pain receptor may be stimulated and the finger would quickly be withdrawn through a reflex arc.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_forwardwhy would someone who has a damaged esophagous due to acid feel pain on his heart and back? nociceptors have a lot of myelin so any little injury is going to lead to fast signals and a lot of pain neurons from vesicular organs and the soma synapse on the same interneurons nociceptors from vesicular tissue synapse on non-specific asending pathways, so the pain in one neuron will cause pain in all.arrow_forwardYou are recording from a touch receptor in skin.

Group of answer choices Whether the area of skin that can activate this receptor is big or small Whether the receptor sends its output to the somatosensory cortex or not You don’t need any more information; you can identify this receptor just from the information provided Whether the touch receptor is connected to an Alpha-Delta fiber or a C-fiberarrow_forward
- In most neurons, membrane depolarization leads to the opening of voltage-dependent ion channels, generation of an action potential, and, ultimately, an influx of Ca2+, which causes release of neurotransmitter at the axon terminus. Devise a cellular strategy by which hyperpolarization in rod cells could produce excitation of the visual pathway and passage of visual signals to the brain.

The signal released by one neuron can be either excitatory or inhibitory to the following, postsynaptic neuron.)arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following is an example of sensory transduction or transmission. lon channels in a sensory v [ Choose ] cell in the skin open in transmission response to a change in transduction temperature.
