When a neuron fires an action potential, the information travels through the axon,the dendrites, and the cell body, but not in that order. Place these three structures in the correct order.
Sense of smell, also known as olfaction, is the ability to perceive and interpret odours. When a chemical molecule interacts with an odour-receptor protein located on the sensory neuron in the nose, an action potential is triggered and sent along the axon. The interaction between a chemical molecule and an odour-receptor protein will first initiate the movement of _____A______ ______B_____ the _____C______ of the _____D_____ neuron. Using the numbers given below, identify A to D.

A: AnswerB: AnswerC: AnswerD: Answer
Applying a pressure stimulus to the fluid-filled capsule of an isolated Pacinian corpuscle causes a brief burst of action potentials in the afferent neuron, which ceases until the pressure is removed, at which time another brief burst of action potentials occurs. If an experimenter removes the capsule and applies pressure directly to the afferent neuron ending, action potentials are continuously fired during the stimulus. Explain these results in the context ofadaptation.
