SEQUENCING: Arrange the sequence of events that happen during an action of sensory and motor
systems of animals. Assign numbers, I being the first event until 6 being the last. Write your answers in
your notebook.
10. receptor potential
11. action potential in sensory neuron
12. production of action response
13. receptor transduces energy of stimulus into electrical energy
14. signal transmitted to CNS
15. stimulus (such as light energy)
1. Make a model or draw 3 multipolar neurons. Imagine you had something crawling on your arm.
The first is a sensory neuron, getting its information from the skin and sensing the movement.
The second is an interneuron. It relays information from the first (sensory neuron) to the CNS.
The third is a motor neuron. It begins in the CNS but leads all the way to the muscle, so that you can move the fingers and scratch the area.
On your images/model the "dendrites" should be blue, "axon" should be green and "soma" should be yellow. As you connect them to each other, take notice in which areas are the receiving end, and which are the transmissive ends.
Can measures of sensory acuity be obtained through filaments and biothesiometer? Explan why or why not
Do you tink changing the frequency of the biothesiometer vibrations would affect your measured results? Why?
Which settings affect the frequency of stimulation, which affect amplitude

The sensory endings of these nociceptors are found on the foot of the rat. They measured resting membrane potential (RMP) (Fig 2B) and action potential threshold (Fig 2C) in the nociceptors. The results and figure legend are shown below. Use the data (attached) to answer the following questions. a. What category of sensory afferent are the authors studying? b. What reflex(es) does this sensory afferent participate in? c. What conclusions can the authors make based on the data shown in this figure?

As the light intensity increases, the optical nerve sends a signal to the brain, which commands internal eye muscles to decrease the pupil's eye diameter. When the light intensity decreases, the pupil diameter increases. Draw a functional block diagram of the light-pupil system indicating the input, output, and intermediate signals; the sensor; the controller; and the actuator.
