Chapter 6.1, Problem 2CYU

Slowly adapting receptors differ from rapidly adapting receptors in :-a- stopping to discharge after a relatively longer period of constant stimulationb- detecting the dynamic properties of stimulic- detecting velocity of stimulid- generating receptor potentials as long as stimulus is applied.

Give two examples of pain excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Why can a greater-than-normal stimulus trigger an AP during the relative refractory period but not during the absolute refractory period?

Describe what a graph of action potential amplitude vs stimulus intensity for a frog sciatic nerve would look like. What would be the x-axis label and units of measurement?       What would be the y-axis label and units of measurement?

What is the difference of depolarization and hyperpolarization? Why do cold receptors depolarize quickly and warm receptors hyperpolarize quickly?

How does the frequency of action potentials in the primary sensory neuron code for stimulus intensity? (Human Physiology)

Describe how does a taste bud cell detect the presence of Salty and sour? Describe the steps leading up to the generator potential?

Why can tactile stimulus be localized in parts of our body better than other parts?

Rapidly adapting tactile receptors include all the following types, except :-a- Merkel discsb- Meissner corpusclesc- Pacinian corpusclesd- hair end organs
