What are the classifications of sensory receptors according tomodality of stimulus? Give an anatomic example of each
In the process of sensory coding
Recruitment of additional neurons occurs with a weak stimulus in order to make the stimulus stronger.
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.
Identify five kinds of sensory receptors based on the type of energy they transduce. What is the specific function of each?
